The Game of Soccer

THE GAME OF SOCCER! Stadium overcrowded by hooligans and fans Cheering waving flags and clapping their hands Players on the field they’re ready to start There goes the whistle it pumps up their hearts Adding strength to the ball and kicking it high The ball travels overhead how beautiful it can fly Over center field and still it goes strong Pass received with ease and the player runs long There he goes for his opponents goal He dribbles through each player he’s on a roll He takes the shot and curves it by The keeper dives for it far and high The goalie misses it the balls in the net There’s a moment of silence and no regrets The winners jump for joy that win was a must Opponents heads tilt down low they leave in disgust A player’s life fulfilled is playing world class To be playing all year long on the rich green grass Play with heart, that’s the real answer Of how to play the true game of soccer
