GOALLLLL!

Apr 17, 2022, Philadelphia.

The purpose of Football is to make a goal by advancing a ball over the goal line into the goal net, and at the same time defending a goal and keeping the opponents from scoring. Ergo, the goal (Duh!). It sounds easy, right? The key is how to do it...

As spectators, we expect our team to score easy goal after easy goal quickly. When you start to understand the dynamics of the game, you notice that football and chess are about the same things: managing territory, executing sound strategies, and, ultimately, defeating the opponent. The players constantly challenge each other, looking for ways to break through the opposing team's defense, managing their own energy and timing at the same time.

That is why when the goal comes is celebrated in style (although for the opposing team it is a moment of mourning).

This was a goal f my team. Let's celebrate!
