The Sport of Glory

Soaring through the air like fierce eagles the ball flew through the goal. The sphere rolls towards me on the soft, green grass. I get ready to dodge my competitive opponents. The trophy is my golden ticket to glory. The athletic contest fills my dreams with joy. The long court gets shorter as I furness players. I curve the ball so that the goalkeeper can't save my rapid shot. I sweat on my back while I wait until the tournament has finished. I feel the soft, scratched sphere swoop into my hands while I save the winning goal. Holding a soccer ball on a international field is my future.
