Soccer (Free verse) by x0lovelylarnx0
The whistle blows to start the game
We look into the eyes of the other team
I can see that they want to win
But we have more hunger than they do
I have the ball and I'm drilling the ball towards the net
They can't stop me
All I can see is the goalie and the big white net
I take my foot back and aim
My foot finally comes in contact with the ball
I watch it soar through the air
I hear it hit the net
I scored and the crowed went wild
I felt a great jolt of energy
The energy gave me the power to do it all again
Someone pushes me down hard to the ground
There is no whistle
I'm fired up and angry
But I get right back up and begin my chase after the ball all over again
Finally the three blows of the whistle I had been waiting for

I get the impression that the old football - soccer - is taking off on the other side of the water, great to hear, but please don't start dominating this sport like you have everything else!
I ought to visit the States sometime, one of my housemates is half American and raves about Florida; personally I'd love to see the Great Plains and the Lakes (particularly Superior). But that won't happen for a while yet.
With regards to the sport: at least we have the cricket. You'll never beat us at cricket! God bless the Ashes.
