Things I hate about soccer

Hi hi ! Mona is back again with another blog post. Today I am going to be talking about the things I hate about soccer. There are many many things I really don't like and that get on my nerves but today I will speak about 2. They make me want to explode and break a wall. Because I am 16 years old, it also makes me want to swear very much. Anyways let's get to it.

The referees...

Oh my dear god. The first thing I hate specifically about soccer are the referees. They just mess up the whole game and ruin everything. Now of course, not all referees are like that but many are. I think everyone knows that the FIFA World Cup soccer games have a lot of cameras recording it. We can see everything, from every corner. When I watch soccer, I can see the referee look at the foul that had just happened in the game but do they call it, yes but was it the right call, sometimes no for example this event 

"In the first 62 matches of the World Cup, there were no yellow cards shown for simulation. The first one came in the 68th minute of the third-place playoff game—and it was the wrong decision.Oscar had the chance to shorten Brazil's 2-0 deficit to the Netherlands when he went down in the area. Algerian referee Djamel Haimoudi believed the Chelsea star was diving, but replays clearly show that Daley Blind stomped on his right foot."

Fouls are very important in soccer games because they can cause major injuries to some players and they won't even get a free kick or penalty kick in return. Free kicks and penalty kicks can change the score in the game so it is super important. And the players who didn't really commit a foul yet still gets called for it will result them with a yellow or a red card which is very crucial to the players and the team. If he/she is the one of the best players on the team, it will be very hard to win without that person. Soccer is not supposed to be an aggressive game, some players need to calm down and do some yoga. Also, in my eyes, I feel like some referees side with one of the teams playing on the field just because they are probably from that country or just because they like that team more. I'm sure many other people would agree with me too. Soccer should be a fair game. In addition, I feel like referees interrupt the game because they run all over the place. I don't know if that's just me but yes.

Ball hoggers

I also do not like ball hoggers in soccer. Ball hoggers, for those who do not know what they are, are people that always keep the ball to themselves in a soccer game and barely pass to anyone because they think they are the best. Soccer is a team sport for goodness sake, understand that please. Even if the other players are not that good, passing the ball to them once or twice is not going to kill you and it won't kill the game either. Be nice. At the beginning of the game pass the ball to them and see how good they are, and then if you have that moment where you're about to score a goal, go for it. The others won't be mad at you. Don't risk a goal just to pass a ball but what I am saying it pass it once in a while. Those players that are not that amazing would understand your situation and won't get mad. Don't just keep it to yourself and pass the ball once in a full game. No don't do that. Who knows? Maybe those not so good players will be lucky and score a goal. The point of soccer is trying to win while having fun and good teamwork in safety. And being nice to everybody!
