I, as a soccer player, play both indoor and outdoor soccer. Both fields have their advantages and disadvantages. I like playing indoor more because the field is more flat and easier to run on. The field also has boards so you can bounce the ball off the boards instead of passing to someone or so the ball doesn't go out of bounds. In indoor the game moves a lot faster and a lot more happens, opposed to outdoor where there is a lot more room and the ball goes out of bounds a lot more. The other thing i don't like about outdoor is the wind can make the ball go in different directions and the game moves a lot slower because there's more room for the ball to go. My favourite thing about outdoor is being outside and when you fall on the grass it doesn't hurt as much. :)

He's known as the best soccer (football) player of all time. Pele (Edison Arantes do Nascimento) , was born October 23, 1940. He played on the Brazilian team as attacking midfield and forward.
He is hailed a national hero because on his 1,00th goal, he dedicated it to the poor children of Brazil. He was also declared football ambassador of the world by FIFA.
My favourite professional soccer player is David Beckham, but the one thing I don't understand is he's treated more like a model and celebrity then an athlete. I don't think it's exactly fair that just because his wife (Victoria Beckham) is a model and a former Spice Girl, he gets all these modeling jobs. I'm just saying, if you're going to play soccer for a living, play soccer. If you're going to model for a living, be a model. It doesn't really make sense that he does both because I'm pretty sure it's not because he doesn't have enough money.

Okay so, when you're in a game, and you push someone on purpose, you get a yellow card, which means you get a penalty and there's one less player on the field. I think it's only fair if the player pushes you, and doesn't get called on it, you should be allowed to push them back, without getting a yellow card. What I also think would be fair is, if the player on the other team is saying stuff to you, without the referee hearing, you should also be allowed then, to push them. I personally think we should revise the rules of soccer.

Soccer; to me it's not just a game, its a passion, a dream, it's a lifestyle. It's the most popular sport in the world. To me, there's no greater feeling, then seeing that ball shoot clear into the net, it's pure glory. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else than running on a field, shoes tied tight, thw wind against my face, and the ball at my feet. I don't care that I'm the best, or the fastest runner, I just love the game, and that's all that matters.
