Antonio Saldivar

A Soccer Game

The sight of the bright green grass in the sun or under the lights

The smell of the dirt as it is kicked around

The feeling of your foot hitting the ball into the air

The yelling of the other players asking for the ball

The taste of your mouth getting drier and drier as you get more tired

Seeing the ball fly into the air after kicking it

Smelling the nasty sweat from your jersey

Feeling the studs of your opponent scratch your skin open

Hearing the sound of the ball hit the back of the net

Tasting the salty sweat going across your face

Watching your teammate kicking the ball towards the goal

Breathing in the dirt in through your nose after being tripped onto the ground

Grabbing the ball and setting it down before taking the free kick

Listening for the sound of the whistle from the referee to end the game

Soccer
