​ It's loud, it's hot, and time is running out. The grass is long and itchy, but she doesn’t seem to notice as she dodges her way toward the goal. She is now halfway down the field. All eyes are on her. The defense is ready to dominate. But she is too fast for all of the opponents. She is ready to shoot. This goalie looks big and mean. She looks around at her teammates who are right behind her incase she needs help, pauses. She backs up, then kicks.... IT'S IN! The goal is good. Oh my. It's a miracle.

The ball was passed, it was dribbled. Then all of the sudden it was shot and in the net. Wow! I could tell by this girls face expression and aggressiveness that she really wanted to win this game. Those other girls might have thought she was a bulldog for the way she played.

The best part about this game was when the crowd went wild. Cheering, screaming, and jumping up and down. Then I saw the most hilarious thing. When everyone was getting hugs, pats on the backs, and high fives from the supportive crowd, the girl’s mom took off like a crazy woman pounding her chest like an ape. Saying " awawawawlalacunga". I guess this mom might be a huge soccer fan.

I think the second quarter pep talk from coach was what got these girls pumped up and ready to win. When they came back on the field it looked like a totally different team playing.

Finally the game came down to thirty seconds left, tied 5 to 5. The other team did not like the thought of losing. The opponents wanted to win this game but they just did not even have the opportunity. The other girls were blocking them with there all. The girls got the ball ran and all a sudden two girls from the other team came up behind the girl...but the girl passed it two the middle. The girl in the middle kicked and made the goal. They scored the goal and made it 6 to 5. They won the game. It is over! Those girls were sweating like grease monkeys out there on the field. I can tell you one thing I could not have done it. But these girls did!

​ After the game I was looking around the field remembering when I was at my last soccer game and the looks on everyones faces. I looked and glanced at the young girl who had scored the goal. She looked deep into thought too. I know how she feels. The great feeling of victory. It made me think of how victory feels and how it helped me in life. I now know how victory feels and how hard you need to try if you really want something. I know that my team when I played was great. We worked as a team because we knew if we didn't we would not know the feeling of victory. Also, my team knew that if we wanted that trophy we had to give it are all. My team and I would not leave that field until we had that trophy in are hands. I would not leave that field crying because I knew I didn't give it my best for my team. I could tell this girl did because she had the biggest smile on her face that I have ever seen. I knew how she felt, and that feeling was amazing!!!

Even though this grass was long and itchy, these girls did not seem to care one bit. This game was outstanding. I can see how these girls probably think the soccer field is one of the best places EVER!
