The Football Match
I was getting ready for school when I remembered that Manchester United would be coming to Parkhead to take on Celtic in the Champions’ League group stage. My excitement grew immediately. I pondered for a second realizing that if Celtic won this game they would be through to the last sixteen, an achievement no other Scottish club had achieved for years. Maybe this could be our year, I thought.
The cold blistering air spiked deep into my lungs from the moment I stepped out from my house. I gazed at the pavement, observing whether there was ice on it. I strolled my way to school through the path where the gigantic trees gloomed above me. I trod carefully through the icy grass which was miniscule in comparison to the trees.
As I made my way into school my hands were about to fall off with the freezing weather. I sauntered across the classroom to my seat. I had maths first but my thoughts drifted towards for the Celtic game that night and I couldn’t keep my concentration. The teacher was handing out text books when I suddenly came up with a plan. He handed me my textbook then I put on an act and said I felt sick and had to go home. He fell for it and asked the classroom assistant to take me down to the office. I staggered my way to the office to make it look more convincing. My dad came and picked me up.
I decided to go to for a nap when I got in so time would pass quicker. The game started at quarter to eight so I set my alarm to go off an hour before kick-off so I would have time to get ready.
I woke up and glanced at my clock. I was so happy. It was finally here. I got ready and waited on my cousin to come to my house. I had a thrilling feeling about the game.
Kyle, my cousin, finally arrived at my door, and then we began the twenty minute walk up London road to Celtic park as I got nearer the ground my excitement grew inside me as I would be seeing some of the best players in the world like Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The atmosphere was electric,

    Adam Sweeting comment “Not so much a football tournament, more another excuse for a round the clock orgy of comment analysis, name dropping, beer drinking and statistic swapping”. This quote explains to the reader that throughout the tournament football supporter, television commentators, journalist will be talking about the own opinion on the games over a drink in the pub or at home. This opinion will be a post mortem or celebration depending on the result of the game discussing scores and techniques used during the game.…

    I attended every all-star practice before our first game and was hungry with anticipation. The all-star tournament was single elimination, so if we lost even a single game it would all be over. I had some really good friends on the team although I was probably one of the least skilled players. We practiced nearly every day the two weeks before our first game. My excitement was steadily increasing with every practice.…

    BEEP BEEP BEEP. It was nine in the morning. The Sunday after the Saturday. I did my usual every morning before a game. I would take a shower, brush my teeth, and put on my uniform. My uniform is the Barcelona soccer team. With my long navy socks and my soccer shoes. By that time it's already ten in the morning. My parents were at a seminar, so my dad's friend took me and my two brothers to the game.…

    It was a frigid, windy, Friday night in October. The only light was the bright and beaming illumination of the stadium lights projecting over the soccer field. The bleachers were full, it seemed as if the whole school was there, and as a freshman with anxiety, it made it hard to cope with the fact, that I was going to be a starter for the varsity soccer team.…

    After we got to the city, we spended some time going around it and looking at some other things in the city. Next morning we got up, then got on the tram to the game, it was a 30 minute wait, but it was so worth it because I got to see the houses, how they build them there, the parks, this long and big river right beside the stadium. We finally got there, but we couldn’t go inside because the NFL is not letting people inside with normal bags, we hid the bag inside a bush then we got to go inside the stadium. They played the Jets and I got to see a lot the Steelers players like Antonio Brown, Big Ben. I got to eat a hot dog, popcorn, some other candies. But it was so good, but so much money to get food there. My seats were on the 50 yard line and the weather was sunny, but cool. But the most important time was spending time with…

    The next morning we parked our coolers and headed to the stadium. It was time to do some serious tailgating! This was an amazing experience the fans were awesome and so much fun. The time has come. Time to enter the stadium to watch the Greenbay Packers play the Chicago Bears. Now, at this point, I haven’t been in the stadium. The sound of 78,000 fans cheering on their teams was totally awesome. We found our seats and settled in to watch the big game, with a beer and a couple of hot dogs of course. When Greenbay came onto the field the crowd went nuts. The experience of watching a game in real life as opposed to television was an experience I can’t explain. It gave me…

    When the quarterback went up behind the center and said his cadence I felt my stomach tighten up and get really nervous until we both took our steps and I got my hands on the ball. I saw the line gave me a big hole to work with and knew it was on the secondary I had to beat, with one cutback and a broken tackle I scored on the first play of the scrimmage.…

    The day started off well. Waking up at my usual time I rolled out of bed and got ready for the day. I had a long trip ahead of me but I didn’t want that to bring down my spirits.

The Cavaliers had an impressive regular season, going undefeated and showing true blue pass offense, passing for more than 1500 yards in the regular season. We as Orioles were the underdogs as the seven seed. We…

    On the damp soft ground of a soccer field, I stood there in silence thinking how to approach. How to get better at being more accurate with the ball and my touch. Slowly I started to walk toward the ball, the connection between the ball and my foot broke the silence. Leading to the sound of the ball connecting with the net, putting a smile on my face. I had finally made a shot I liked.…
