    It’s a rather cold Sunday morning in Suffern, New York at 10 am so it’s the perfect atmosphere to just watch a soccer game that’s being played in some stadium across the Atlantic, in Europe. Before I turn on the TV to NBC, I sprint to my room to get my predicted eleven on-pitch players. Why is it important? It’s a ritual for me because I had just spent a few minutes about a week before calculating which players had the highest percentage of making it to the on-pitch eleven. The common misconception

Images were racing through my head as I thought about my teammates having to go on to play without me. I couldn’t understand why I had to let them handle it on their own. We had played together since we were in the fourth grade, and when they needed me the most, all I could do was sit and cheer. I hated the feeling of

In the traditional Canadian version, each team consisted of about one hundred to one thousand men on a field just about the size of a modern soccer field.

James Smith described a game he observed in 1757 by his fellow tribe members: “wherein they

    I play football here at ULM and we have been in our fall camp for the last 23 days. It is a mental, physical, and emotional strain and tensions are running high. One day early on in camp we were out in the blistering heat practicing. We were almost finished when we called a screen pass and I was going to be the main blocker for the play and if I messed up it wouldn't work. Then as soon as the ball was snapped I stepped with the wrong foot first. This slowed me down and the defender was able to clobber
