We looked on as Les and Pat played soccer. We say
soccer here in the United States But outside of the
United States, they say football. The name football
makes a lot of sense since the players use their feet
to kick the ball. The goalkeeper can use her hands to
stop the ball, but the rest of the players can’t use their
hands. But maybe an even better name would be
feetball. After all, you use both feet. Soccer, football, or
feetball—which name do you think is best?
At one point Les made a nice pass. Her teammate
had a shot on goal. She kicked the ball hard, but it
bounced off the goalpost.
Pat played well, too. She had to block two shots by
the Dickens players. She knocked one out of bounds
and grabbed one with her mitts.
