From elementary school through to college, soccer has always been a part of our lives. As we grow older, we realize we couldn't have ever predicted how many things would change. So here’s a little reminder of how things used to be and how soccer is now.
"Who's fashioned their studs into shanks?!"
"Sir...sir...sir."
Soccer = love. And the Kickin' Zebras had a world-class U-12 midfield.
American football brings a bigger audience. We all understand. But that's no excuse play real football on artificial turf.
*someone kicks the ball really far*
"Wow! Great soccer play!"
Yes, there's more to football than being able to kick the ball really far. Sorry, Dad.
Trophies from soccer award shows.
We did great — we won the Participants trophy!
Western New York Flash are 2016 National Women's Soccer Champions!
The sad truth: the time for trophies is always diminishing.
When did we all get so serious?
There's something so exhilarating about tunnels.
Mom, Dad. Just one more tunnel, please.
It's like water but a PED.
"We gotta work for each other! Fight for each other! Drink more Capri Sun!"
That shot was high, wide and not-at-all-handsome.
Ya'll need to work on your left-foot.
Friends, football and Saturday sunshine: this is the life.
I'm so tired.
