Chapter 1: When the Ball Starts Rolling

One ball, one field, two teams. When these three things come together, something magical happens. Joys are unleashed, emotions are experienced, victories are cheered and defeats are overcome. This is not just a game, my friends. This is soccer, the most beautiful sport in the world!

That is why soccer is so fascinating, so
