(Actually Occured on Wednesday 2 September, and Sunday 6 September)
British English: The Football Tourney
American English: The Soccer Tournament
We have now had two soccer tournaments against the Germans here at language camp, both of which we have lost rather badly. Not that our playing was entirely bad, just that the Germans love their Fussball. There was an indoor tournament on Tuesday played in a gym which was really small, but still fun. Our team consists of Lyle- Keeper, Rocky- really good at soccer, Josh-plays for high school and club, Mickey-played lots of soccer earlier in highschool, and myself- played in elementary, then indoor with the Bros on team Manifest. Then we also had our America Team 2 players of Lucas-no previous soccer, Evan-good at running, but also no soccer, and Josh- sweet Ninja skillz that he uses to get the ball and throw himself in front of people thereby tripping and stopping them, but no soccer expirience. Mario is a young German man who organized the indoor tournament and played for the America 2 team for indoor, and the singular 'US boys'(has to be pronounced in a German accent) team for outdoor. The outdoor was much better, and we really held our own, but I played forward and didn't take shots when I needed to. Things went better the third game when others played forward and I played mid. I did have some pround moments though with holding onto the ball and a few good shots. No goals, and one assist overall.
I really enjoy soccer, and I like how it's a team effort unlike tennis where I felt let down by my partner in matches.
