What  Soccer  Means  To  Me...

       To me soccer has always been, and still is every day, the greatest sport. It has always inspired me and rewarded me with countless moments of excitement, pleasure and sense of achievement and self development. It is a fast, dynamic, technical, and strategic game which can be simple in certain situations and extremely complex in others.
