Why You Should Play Soccer!

Dear Whoever it may concern,

Okay, so I don't exactly play this sport but I used to and I enjoy it so my job today is to persuade you to join it.

First of all there are two names for it. soccer and football, though it's only really soccer in America and Canada. That has to be one reason and it's English! But I should probably start with a real reason. Like all other sports of course it'll help you get fit if you play and it's arguably of the most popular sports in the world and over one billion people watch the Football World Cup every few years. Here's another fact about soccer for the basketball fans, the first basketball game was actually played using a football.

Football is a game involving your feet which makes it different from every other sport though you have to kick it correctly in order not to injure yourself. The game should be smooth and simple as long as you have trust in your team and continue to play to the rules. If you find it difficult to hit the ball with enough strength I'd imagine kicking something you hate and trying to hit it towards your goal.

If you don't like being on field you could stay in the goal as goalie or goal keeper. The goalie's job is to catch the ball and is the only player allowed to use his/her hands. The goalie usually ends up diving for the ball and would do anything to stop the ball from getting into the goal.
