The grey fog comes in, there is mist in the air, the cold wind increases my alertness and the uneasiness of everyone causes silence for a brief moment until the high pitched blow of a whistle starts it all. This sounds like a setting to a suspenseful corny movie but really it’s just a typical gameday here at San Francisco State University.
Not much is known about the origin of soccer. However, the Greeks and Romans played football and ball kicking games. The London Football Association developed the first sets of rules in 1863. British sailors and settlers brought the game to India, South America and Europe.
The Men’s soccer team captured their second conference victory of the season on Saturday, defeating the University of New England 2-1. Heading into today’s matchup, Curry had posted an ugly 1-3-1 record against their CCC counterparts.
A lot of times when other people see student athletes flourishing in their sport, they think the athletes didn’t earn their success, or that what they accomplished was just handed to them. This may be out of jealousy, or maybe they really do feel that way. However, in almost every case, the athlete is putting in extra work when no one is watching and, in some cases before everyone is awake. The players are striving to be the best they can be, and it is a long, difficult journey. Personally, I have committed to the hard work necessary to achieve success over my 13-year soccer career, but this was especially true the summer of 2016.
I am good at soccer such a fun game Such skills are required You must be strong and brave long kicks to get you closer to achieving your goal and making goals to win the game heading and saving the ball is important too it's all about a game called soccer
In the field of Anthropology, there have been numerous studies on soccer and the different social plays that the sport contains. Groundbreaking and controversial writings such as Marcelo Mario Suarez-Orozco’s, A Study of Argentine Soccer: The Dynamics of Its Fans and Their Folklore (1982) study the fans and symbolism that surround the game. However, a key element that is often disregarded by anthropologists is the players themselves. Dismissed as the realm of journalists, most studies seem to shy away from the social interaction and symbolism that occurs within the team, and instead focus on how the fans view the game and the games role and symbolism within society as a whole. As a
One thing that I love is playing soccer. A key factor in being good at soccer is being mentally tough, and this is also important in rowing. This is because in a game your team might be down by a few goals which could seem discouraging, but if you’re mentally tough you can over come that and play even better to try and help your team make a come back. Also to be good at soccer it is important to be fit. If you are fit then you will be able to run through an entire game without getting tired out before time is called. This is important because your team needs you to play to the best of your ability whenever you’re on the field, and if you are not fit you’ll get tired out which means you can’t play to your highest potential. To play soccer you
Our soccer team here at Liberty High School women and men both are Affected through the underfunding and underappreciation of our school. Most all of our money goes to the football team who have 5 jerseys and chrome helmets they never wear with a lot of combinations soccer has 2. The high school needs to realized in the last two years our football team has won 10 games our soccer team won 14 last year not including tournaments and yet they get the money. And our complex it is just plain horrible and we will not really ever play at the high school. Along with these nobody ever goes to our games which is bad for player moral. Bottom line is the student body along with the boosters need to notice that we are a good team it’s not all just football.

The day came, the day our teams final soccer game came. As I woke up I knew we would win. I was also very excited because at the end of the game we would have a end of the season party. Once I was all ready to go we left to Nimitz, are teams home field,.
My organization that I have chosen to develop is a soccer academy based here in the United States. As soccer is not the most popular sport in America the opportunity’s for children are very slim and at the moment the only chances they are given that are valuable, require people to pay, with this in mind I hope to change that with my soccer academy idea.
“Go shoot” yelled everyone from my coach to all the parents” it's yours” my teammate started to yell.
“Jacob come get the ball”. I run and dive for the ball and as I get it I feel a foot slam into my face and everything goes black ... for a second. Those were the last words I heard when I had my injury that ended my soccer career as a keeper. Jump back to this morning before the injury. I woke up at 6:50 and had breakfast with my sister after that I got ready for school. Wednesday is late start so I don’t have to get to the bus as early as usual. Jump ahead a couple of hours to the start of the soccer game. It is 4:00 and my team is practicing for the game. We notice that Beaverton’s soccer team is much taller and more cocky than us. My team is mostly made up of freshman. The game starts at 4:30 on time Beaverton starts with the ball. They kick it back to their sweeper and we pressure them as best as we can which isn’t really that much since we are smaller. In the 10th minute they get a free kick and as the ball comes toward everything goes in slow motion and I make a decision to dive for the ball. I save the shot and drop kick it to the other side of the half where the strikers are patiently waiting. The defenders tell me that it was a dope save and it would go on a highlight reel. It is not until the 15th minute until the other team score a shot on me.
As I put my black and gold jersey on, I thought of the outcome of tonight's game. Either the Penguins come out as champions, or they are forced to game 7. I walked downstairs to put my shoes on, and I saw my brother with his black and teal jersey on. We headed to the car. My mom was already annoyed by how much my brother and I were fighting over who would win the intense game. Finally, after a couple of minutes, we journeyed to the big game. After a long ride, we finally entered the streets of Pittsburgh. We sensed the excitement and tense atmosphere of the city. Everybody crawled the streets getting ready for the big game. When waited in line, it seemed like the whole city tried to rush in. The line took about 45 minutes, but it seemed like hours. Finally, as we went through security, we were dogs released from a cage. From the time we found our seats until the beginning of the game, more and more people filled the massive arena. Many people filled the seats up like sardines. When everybody arrived to my favorite place, we all waited for 8 o'clock, the start of the game.
Today is the day. Soccer tryouts I wish they were on a Friday instead of a Monday but oh well. Yesterday I woke up at 6am and practice until 10pm. I ate breakfast and dinner which I ate fast so I could go and practice more. My mom and dad got me a soccer net and soccer disc. I hang up one of the disc and shoot at it until I hit it at least 3 times.
