| ... I find it REMARKABLE that I used to have the patience to COMPETITIVELY play the practically NONSTOP-game of "soccer" ("'futbol'", to my fellow foreigners). Also, since the game/sport tends to be rather low-scoring (Also, goals usually require some set-up/strategy), soccer requires a great deal of PATIENCE. (My brain-injury has SEVERELY decreased/diminished my "patience.)
I was the "left midfielder". (Wow, how did I remember THAT?!) So, I played BOTH offense AND defense. (Yes, you GROSS, SOPHOMORIC jokesters might say that I "went both ways". Ha ha, CHILDREN.) I possessed enough ball-handling skills and strategic wherewithal to help "produce" goals. I was also talented enough to be my team's FIRST line of defense against the opposition's (USUALLY stronger/better) RIGHT side of offense/"forwards".
Let's hear it for the WORLD'S most popular sport! O-LAY, o-lay, o-lay! O-LAY! O-lay. |
