Soccer, what is it? Well it’s a sport with many things that most people wouldn’t know about it. When you play soccer you’re not only on a team, but your basically joining yourself to a new family. We spend tremendous amounts of time with each other. From practice every day after school, games every weekend, team bonding that lasts for hours on end, and traveling to tournaments. What happens is we become a family during that time. The closer you get with your team, the tighter the bond you have with each other on the field. What happens is you can end up forming some type of telepathy. Trust me, that's not a joke. In the game you kind of just know where that persons going to be without having to take the extra time to look for an open player.
Also a lot of people don't quite understand the rules o soccer. The biggest misunderstanding is "off sides" it's the rule that offensively you cannot be further back then the opposing teams defense before a player on your team has kicked the ball entitling it to go past the defense. Sounds pretty confusing I know, but if you play the game it's nothing new. Piece-a-cake.
Some little extra facts that possibly may be unknown are that we start the game with our shirts tucked in because if you pull someone’s shirt, that's a foul. That being said, if you’re having a nice little confrontation with someone and you come out with your shirt out, you will most likely get the call.
We use pre wrap (what you use when you have an injury and need to get taped) in our hair as head bands. Soccer cleats unlike football, baseball, and softball, does not have the very front notch. It's not allowed. Goalies are not allowed to pick up the ball I their own team kicks it back to them. I headed, kneed, or chested that’s perfectly permitted. If a person scores 3 goals in a game alone it called a hat trick just like in hockey.
