When Susan asked how to play football, Terry felt like his would was destroyed. Someone didn't know about football? That, cricket and rugby were what MADE England awesome! The boy put the books down for a better explanation.
"It's a game you play with 11 aside," he told her. "One goalie, one sweeper, three defenders, three midfielders and three strikers. You can only use your feet. You have to pass to your teammates. The goal is to get it into the net. Goalies can use their hands."
He moved around as he continued.
"You have corner kicks if the defending team kicks the ball out of bound by their net and if the offense knocks it out you have a goal kick. If it's not near the net, the other team has a throw-in. After every point, the ball starts in the middle of the field."
He looked at her with a big smile.
"I'll have to teach you some time! It's a lot of fun!"
