My 1st Soccer League

            I was 10 years old when I joined my first soccer league. I was the smallest kid in the team (nothing’s changed much). We were “Las Chivitas”. When I played my first game I immediately scored a goal. It felt so good when I scored . As soon as I scored the goal, I looked over at my dad. He had a huge smile on his face. That was a great feeling I had. A feeling of happiness I have never felt before. A feeling like no other that inspired me to play even harder. I wanted my dad to smile again. For him to smile it made me feel good inside it was the 78^th minute. A player of my team kicked the ball the goalie managed to stop it. The ball rolled over to me, I turned over towards my dad. He looked at me. I kicked the ball as hard as I could. I closed my eyes suddenly I heard the team screaming. “Yeah!”. I tuned towards my dad. He again had a huge smile. It felt great. I didn’t care about the goal I cared about making my dad smile.

            “I’m proud of you” my dad said. “You really gave it your best out their”. I remember he drove home with a big smile on his face. I never had seen my dad so happy. To think it was because of that day that I practiced soccer so much. I love it because it builds a great bond between me and my dad. A sport can really change a relationship between a father and son. It is because of soccer that I and my dad are so close. You all should find something you and your parents can relate to if you have trouble communicating.

My Favorite Soccer Players

These two players are named Javier Hernandez and Wayen Rooney. These two players are my favourite players. These two play in the same team(Manchester United)

My First Soccer Game

            My first soccer game I ever went to was with the Mexican club called Chivas de Guadalajara vs. San Luis. My dad bought the front row tickets (I was about 9 years old at that time) .I saw the players very clear. At the 55^th minute a player called Omar Bravo scored a goal with his head. I was ecstatic. Never n my life have I been so exited. The whole stadium practically jumped with excitement. It got really loud. I felt my ears were going to pop out of me. But at the 76^th minute San Luis scored a goal. Almost the whole stadium was ashamed of that. I thought the game was over. I thought the game was going to end as a tie. Guadalajara was about to score but the goalie just managed to tip the ball over. Guadalajara then kicked a corner kick and by some miracle a player from Guadalajara jumped as high as the birds and hit the ball with his head. In a split second the ball was in. “yeah!!!!!” I screamed.. The whole stadium roared with excitement as they jumped up and down. The ref then called the game over. I was so happy.

            I remember my dad droved home with a big smile in his face. He didn’t speak a word. Once we arrived home he asked me “did you like the game?”

“of course I did dad!”.

“Did you think the players were good?”. I stood in silence for a while.

“yeah, they’re pretty good”

He said to me “I believe you can be as good as they are”. Those words inspired me to become a soccer player, a soccer player as great as them. Little words like that can change a person. Ever since that day, soccer has become my most favorite sport to play. Because of those words, I love soccer and want to become a professional at it

Javier Hernandez

Javier Hernandez is a Mexican soccer player that plays for a European team called Manchester United (# 14). He is a 22 year old that goes by the nickname of “Chicharito” (Spanish for little pea). Manchester United bought Hernandez for nearly  $9.5 mil from the Mexican club Guadalajara. I believe Hernandez can become one of the greatest soccer players in the world. He has great talent to offer; as a result he has scored 35 goals. It took very little time for him to be a well respected soccer player. In almost every sports cast I watch, Hernandez is being talked about. They don’t talk about his goals, but rather the amount of effort he gives in a game. He try’s his best to help his team win the games, and most of the time they do succeed. Even if Man u were to loose, Hernandez dose not get mad. He is a great combination of skill and good sportsmanship.

Not only dose Hernandez play for a very well respected team like Manchester United, but he also plays for his country (Mexico). He also has the jersey no. of 14 in Mexico. It takes a great honor to play for your country. The World Cup took place in Africa this year and Hernandez was chosen to play. With 4 appearances in the World Cup, Hernandez was able to score 2 goals and 3 assists. He not only scores, but helps others to score too.

Hernandez  is a great player with hardly any flaws. Like I said earlier, I truly believe he can become one of the greatest players in the world. He is still very young and has accomplished so much in his soccer career, I feel he is headed in the right direction in his career. Any team would be lucky to have a member like Hernandez in their team.
