Soccer is so easy! Everyone can play that game! Well; if it
were so easy then I would be playing in the best team in the world and I would be
earning millions of dollars or Euros as well as dating hot models.
Well! My country is not that good at soccer because our best
athletes play others sports. Ahh! Right! Your best athletes are the ‘best’ at
the sport they have dedicated their lives to. They have dedicated so much time
and training to the sport they have mastered but that doesn’t mean that they
could quickly switch to anther sport and be successful. Cough! Couch! I
remember Michael Jordan trying to play baseball. That didn’t go too well. And
he definitely was one of the best athletes out there.
But it’s so easy; all you do is kick that ball around! Well;
there a zillion ways to kick that ball. On a free kick, you mean to tell me
that it’s easy to curl it around the defenders with enough finesse and power so
that the goalkeeper does not put a hand on it. A long range shot is certainly
not easy at all, not only does require enough power but also accuracy so that
it does not go high above the bar. Then, you have those long passes, the
short passes and each requires certain touch. If the pass has too much power it
could bounce off your teammate and the opponent player could easily intercept
it. If it is too soft it could become a divided ball. It is certainly not easy
to cross that ball among so many legs when passing around. Period!
How come those soccer players are always faking injuries? Some may fake injuries but for the most part the hits are real. Soccer players
do not train to get hit! Hitting is not part of the game at all. There are some
injuries in the joints because players often get clipped unexpectedly with the
studs and those things are not soft at all.
Also, soccer players do not wear a metal bra at all. Shin
guards are their ultimate protection.
I truly get a kick when someone not knowing the details of
the sport thinks that the players are just kicking the ball around!
