Scout is just one of literally hundreds students who choose to spend one night a week chasing a ball up and down an Astroturf field. Believe her, it's more exciting than it sounds. Although Scout just started playing soccer two seasons ago, she considers herself an expert observer. Contrary to popular belief, soccer is not about kicking stuff. It's not about dropkicking or kick dancing or the fine 1989 Jean Claude Van Damme film Kickboxer .
Soccer is a sport comprised mainly of rules.
In fact, Scout would say a majority of the game is spent standing around thinking about the rules. However, other times, if the phase of the moon is just right and someone on the field is wearing black socks, a player can throw the ball in. Scout just does not know. If you do something the ref doesn't like, sometimes he or she will let the other team have a free kick at your goal. Other times, the ref will let you line up a few of your players to block the free kick.
