Can a soccer player love the other game called football? In eighth grade, he was asked to join the football team as kicker. After the first game, he was moved to the front line although he did not have experience. He was already taller and stronger than many of the other middle school players.
He learned to hold his own, but I could tell that he did not enjoy the practices or games.
At the end of the season, he made it clear that he did not intend to play football.
