4. Important rules for my sport:
#1 You CANNOT use your hands unless you are a goalie
#2 You need to watch and don't play that aggressive because you could hurt someone and get a foul
#3 You CANNOT pick up your feet during a throw in. Also in a throw in you have to have the ball go directly over your head while you throw it.

6. Jargons for soccer that are explained for non-socur followers
#1 A "PK" is when someone was being too aggressive and there was a foul called on them. The team with the player who was fouled gets a "Penalty Kick". For some reason in soccer we just call it a "PK".
#2 When you "meg" someone is when you kick the ball and it goes in between their legs. I have always grown up hearing the term "megged". I do not know where it came from, but that is what it is.
#3 Last thing is for mostly and sport conditioning is not what you do in the shower. It is working out really hard and it is like really hard training. It is meant to make you a better player and to be able to focus when you have to.

7. One sport cliche is that people think that we do things with our feet more than we do with our hands since we play soccer. You could say that yes we use our feet a lot for soccer, but we do not use our feet for daily activities. We are like other people and we use our hands for many things.

8. One of the women's soccer players that has set records is Abby Wambach.
