My Speech
It's the last 30 seconds in the match. He takes a run up and shoot the ball right into the back of the goal. He scores! The crowd goes wild. Roooarrrrrrr! He does a little victory dance with his team in excitement. Nothing feels better than scoring the winning goal.
Hi my name is Vaughn and I will be explaining to you why soccer is a good sport and everyone should play it.
My first reason, it is a global sport.
A lot of people around the world play soccer. There are about at least 265 million players that play soccer, which is around 4% of the whole world! The most popular soccer team is probably FC Barcelona. They also have at least 190 goals scored and they have 24 players in the team.
The second reason is that the rules are pretty simple.
Once you know what to do, you may get a few red and/or yellow cards. But when you start playing a lot, you will be a skilled player and get better at the game, also you will avoid the yellow and red cards.
Thirdly, you don't really need much equipment.
Really, all you need is a ball and some cones or anything to be the goal and you are good to go. You can use red and yellow cards if you are in a rough game. Its good use if it is slippery. Another good thing is also using soccer shoes.
Lastly. You can play any time you want and with anyone you want to play with. Muddy, wet, raining, snowing or not, it is a good time to have a quick match with your friends. You can do it on concrete, grass or sand. You can play anytime, anywhere. My opinion is if I was offered to ever play in snow, I think i would decline that offer, you know since it may be too cold. Unless you had lots of clothes on, of course.
Well... do YOU think soccer is a good sport? I do. It’s easy to learn, you don't need a lot of equipment to play and you can play anywhere. I suggest that at lunchtime today, go to the field and have a go at soccer. Everyone should play it.
