A couple weekends ago, my friends Luke, Joe, and I went to the burbank soccer fields to play in a pickup game. I wore my Neymar jersey because he my favorite player. When Luke brought us there, I had noticed that there was a wide variety of people. There were tall people, short people, Americans, Mexicans, Brazilians, Nigerians, Argentinians, Japanese people and many more. After we got there, we went right to picking teams. I was the first pick and I felt honored. I felt like I had to live up to the expectations of being the first picked. Joe and Luke got picked shortly after me.
When we first started playing, I wasn't playing my best. I was just coming off of a hurt ankle, so I was a little rusty. As the game went long I began to get opportunities. My first opportunity was a long shot. I took the shot from about 20 yards away and hit the post. I was so mad, and so was everyone else. Everyone took the game so seriously. After that missed shot, even though it was a tough, I didn't get as many passes. Then, I finally got the ball and did a roulette around the defender marking me and the goalkeeper came out of goal. As soon as I noticed that I did a rainbow. It was absolutely insane even though the keeper was a 4'9" Guatemalan, I felt accomplished. It was the most skillful goal I have ever scored.
