Women's Soccer

Just reach home some time ago and happen to see a English Drama show about Soccer..except the difference is that, it is played by girls! Their soccer skills are brilliant! I like the Indian girl most, she kicks very well! Haiz...too bad my skills are from bad to worst. At first her family members are very against her to play soccer but after some time, her father encourage her to continue her soccer training after he watch how his daughter played in one of the matches. He feels that she has the protential to play very well. On one of the scene, one of her team-mate's Mum saw the Indian girl kissing her daughter(Her daughter was a caucasian) and she was shock. Cos she thought that her daughter had become Lesbian. Haha! Very funny for that part!

At her sister's wedding, she heard from a friend that her team is almost losing cos she has applied leave from soccer to attend her sister's wedding. I guess she is the star player. Her coach was desprate cos the score was 0-1. Her father allow her to sneak out from her sister's wedding to go for the match. But the problem is, she only could played for the remaining half-time. She manage to get to the court in time and her coach put her in and ask another girl to be out. When the match resumes, I was amazed by the way she kicks the ball and how she avoid from the rivial teams to snatch the ball. When she was about to score the goal, one of the girls aim her ankle and kick her ankle hard. I was thinking,"Wah Piang! Like that also can?!" Luckily the refree dim it to be free kick so she has a chance to kick the ball into the net. I thought it was suppose to be Penalty kick since she is so near the goal line?! But luckily she manage to kick it into the net and draws the score to 1-1. Her next shot prove to be very amazing and the score was 2-1 in Full-time. Her team-mates are very proud of her and her coach was very happy. Later on I heard that the rivial teams are actually a school's women top soccer players! They are very proud cos they manage to beat the top players by 1 score. WooHoo! I am proud of her too!

In the show, it state the most people do not accept women to play for soccer. They find it funny and the guys keep on teasing the girls and think that women won't play as well as guys. But, the girls proof the crowds wrong! Thanks to the regular training the coach taught. If I am not wrong, the country should be in England. I felt that the Indian girl's attitude is similiar to Rooney's and her coach doesn't like her to fight with either fellow players or the rivial players. Haiz...playing soccer is sure hard!(I mean professionally)

At the end of the show, she manage to get a scholarship to further her studies and to play soccer professionally in America! But the sad thing is that she has to be part from her boyfriend(whom is her coach). She promise to be back by December. That is all she said.

If there is a chance to see women's soccer in future, I hope that I could watch it too. I wanted to see how they are playing. Maybe I could pick up some tactics by watching them that way. Haha!
