Just a Friendly

As an avid blogger in the field of soccer, I not only write about the latest news and great events, but also about my own experiences. This past weekend, September 11^th, I participated in a game that was rather odd for my taste. It wasn’t against our rivals and it wasn’t against a very competitive team. It was against the Canadian National Paralytic Team. Many of the members of the squad, for example, run with a limp of have defects in their arms as well as their hands. The goalie had a glass eye, and I couldn’t even begin to imagine how difficult his job must be. It is actually very sad for some players. Three of the starters used to be high-level soccer players, playing in college and preparing to be pro. One of them got in a horrible helicopter accident, and after being expected to die, awoke from a long coma to find himself how he was. However, they were all happy as can be and they thanked us eternally for coming out and playing against them. I also felt great after the game, because I felt as though I contributed greatly to their program In the end, we were all friends. For pictures of the team, follow this link.
