Jake: Jake loves to play ball. It is more important to him than anything else. He is good at reading the game, he is fast, and he is a good runner. He does not like to be tackled. He dreams of being a professional at FC Barcelona – like Messi.

Nick: Nick practices with his ball in the garden very often, and has a mean left kick. He is always optimistic and fun to be around. He is really strong, has lots of energy and he is the younger brother of the top player, Kingo.

Peter: Peter is an amazing goalkeeper. He has saved many difficult goals. He knows everything about football, knows every team, and knows their tactics. His only problem is that he hates to run and quickly gets out of breath.

Chapter 1:

We were one goal behind, and we were seven players against eight. We had to pack up and reorder the team. I held a hand in front of me to provide shade from the sun. The sun hit Peter, our goalkeeper, right in the face. The field was soft and uneven, so we needed great technique.

Joseph failed at taming the ball, so I intercepted it from him in the middle of the field. I passed it to my good friend Nick and was suddenly alone with the goalie of the first team. He came towards me and I feinted the ball around his right and it went directly into the empty goal.

YES, Jake! Nick yelled. Peter, Nick and I were best friends. We all played on the second team.

Good game! Kenneth yelled. He was the trainer for both the first and second teams.

We had evened out the score, but we were under pressure. Kenneth had made the teams completely unfair. All the best players were on the eight-person team, and the rest of us on the other team. Eight good players to seven decent players.

Crap team, Nick
