My take on soccer


Watching the English soccer today there was a white and blue team and a red team, the reds had some guy called Ronaldino playing for them the red team won and then the Australian soccer came on Adelaide and some team called Mariners

Now as you can tell I know nothing about any game that has guys playing with balls but I could tell the difference between the English soccer and Australian soccer, for one there weren’t any police sitting around the edges of the field on the Australian soccer there wasn’t as many spectators in the crowd and they weren’t making as much noise the actual cameras where further away from the players on the telecast of the Australian soccer which made them look very small and puny.
The main difference I saw was the players didn’t move as fast and even though the camera was further away they actually where smaller than the English players skinny puny guys the Australian soccer players are when the cameras zoomed in close they looked pale skinny and white and just didn’t have the same looks on their faces as the English soccer players did almost like they didn’t even want to be there

I noticed it and I know nothing about he game.

Actually I do know who was playing, the red ones are Manchester United and the blue/white are Birmingham, Ronaldino plays for Man U. In English soccer they use a white ball in the summer and an orange one in the winter a “snow ball”. Only the goalie is allowed to handle the ball the rest of the players mustn’t touch the ball with their hands. A yellow card is a warning and a red card is “get off”. David Beckham played for about 5 seconds and got paid a few dollars more (just a few) than a player who played the whole match and I still have no idea who won that particular game.
Not many goals are scored in soccer except recently when Portsmouth and Reading scored 7 to 4 personally I think both of those teams need new goalies.

Normally a 0 in soccer is called nil, one team can beat another 1- nil. A soccer match is 90 minutes plus what’s called time on sometimes maybe 5- 10 extra minutes depending on how many times a player is rolling in pain from leg cramps the better acting the more they get paid.

Soccer is shall we say a “posh” game very civilized, the players tend not to have blood steaming from their heads like they do in rugby. The crowds tend to get more injuries than the players do

Any way that’s my take on soccer
