It's Not So Bad

Event #2
FYS

I had attended one of the last soccer games of the year. The Elmhurst soccer team faced off against Wesleyan University, at home. I knew a few kids on our team and my first cousin, who is my age, plays for Wesleyan, so I thought this would be a good game for me to watch. I never watch soccer, simply because I never liked the soccer players at my high school and I actually never like any soccer players, I never hung out with anyone who was a soccer player.
I like to watch the world cup. The people who play in the world cup are so amazing with that ball. I love to watch what the players can do with that soccer ball; I can not believe how far they can kick it. The soccer players that were playing in the game that I was watching were not any where close to the players in the world cup, but they are professionals so it is understandable. I still find it amazing how that ball just moves so smoothly and they can run while keeping the ball so close to them. After watching the game I went and tried to do some of the things they do with the soccer ball and I could not ever run with it. The players know exactly where the ball is without even looking at it. It does not even look like they hit the ball as they run with it, but they do and they make it so hard for someone to steal it from them.
The game was good, we won even though I think last time we faced them we had lost.
One thing that I thought was cool, was that I was watching a kid in one of my classes, John, go one on one with my cousin. John did not know that that was my cousin, but the two looked like they were pretty evenly matched. The coolest part about that was that both of them are freshmen that start on the varsity team. My aunt and uncle never shut up about it and brag so much about how good their little Scotty is. I know it is my cousin so I was cheering for him, but I want Elmhurst to run over Wesleyan so that next time I saw my aunt and uncle I would have something to rub back in their face. Like I said before I never really watched or liked soccer, but I kind of enjoyed this one, because it was a little personal.
