My favourite sport

Of all the outdoor games my most favourite is soccer. The game of football is played on a large rectangular shaped ground. Each team comprises of eleven players. This game can be played by both men and women. The game starts with center pass and the players have to take their positions quickly. There are goalkeepers who save the ball to go in the goal. The defenders have to take ball from attackers of opponent team and pass it. The midfielder have to dribble and pass it and the attackers have to dribble and shoot. The players do not have to touch the ball with hands. The game may be national- UEFA or international- FIFA. The team that scores more goals win the match. The items needed for this game is soccer ball, jersey, shin guards, stockings and football cleats. I usually play as center back in this game. I am a defender and goalkeeper too. My favourite player is Cristiano Ronaldo. As it plays for the football club Real Madrid, this team is most favourite. He plays for Portugal. But, my favourite national team is Germany. Portugal is good but not so much. It is a toilsome game and the practice of it keeps me fit and healthy physically. I learn the excellent team spirit and sense of discipline by playing this game. I regard this game as the “gentleman’s” game, a valuable and dignified one.
