The air smells of grass and the green grass waves with the breeze. Me and my teammates sweat like pigs as the blazing hot sun hits are backs pulling the sweat out of our heads. All of our faces red as we come off the field. This game was the most intense game I have ever played in. We are still tied after a full game, and overtime. Now I have to sit and watch like the rest of the crowed. The first six PK were scored the intensity rising with each one . Now if this player scores the other team can win it all. The crowd goes silent the player has a look of determination on his face he runs up to the ball and he hits it. I watch the ball flying through the air, praying he would miss.
It was the last game that me and my team would play together. I have only known most of them for a year yet they felt so close to me. We bonded over disappointment, failure,winning, and running hills. Now me and my team had to focus we were in the finals. We played 5

Then 1 minute before half time they scored. Now we needed to get it back. For the first ten minutes we were trying so hard to get it back and we were so close! Then we had a breakaway. My teammate runs like a gazelle approaching the goal fast the ball soars thru the air the swish hear the back of the net. The crowd roars as if there were a thousand people in the stands. It was 1 to 1. The remaining 15 minutes of the game flashed by very quickly. Then the whistle blew. That usually means the end of the game, but today this means overtime.

When the whistle blows, they come out like a dog that needs to go to the bathroom when it hasn’t for the last 2 days, very fast and hard. In the first 3 minutes our goalie as blocked 3 shots and they hit the crossbar once. At halftime I don’t know how, but we were still tied 0-0. I don’t even think that we shot the ball once the entire half. It was all
My head connected perfectly with the ball and I drilled it into the top right corner of the net. There was no way the goalie could get her hands on it. I turned and saw my trainer on the Header sideline and he was going crazy! He was jumping up and down and yelling for me. He threw down his hat in excitement!
Fans were screaming and waving towels throughout the entirety of the game. In the third period, the Blues were losing by a score of 2-3 with minutes to go. The crowd was going crazy trying to help the team as the clock winded down. With 6 seconds left, the puck made its way to the rookie Vladimir Tarasenko. As if he had practiced this his whole life, he fired a wrist shot without blinking and roofed it.
We went back and forth scoring on each other, every mistake costing the other team a touchdown. It came down to the final two minutes in the game we were tied with them. Our coach had said that we need a stop, somebody needs to make a play. Little did I know at the time it would be me to make it.
I saw a gap between two defenders and I made the run as my center mid played a perfect ball. After the 45 yard run, with a defender on my right side, I realized this is it. The hundreds of road trips, hours practicing, and the pain comes down to this. I took one touch and sent a blazing shot to the back post, upper 90. I stood in awe as I heard the crowd going insane.
It all went so fast, but suddenly the Bid Red’s had scored another goal! The crowd clapped and waved with their Big Red banners. It started off with another face-off. The Bid Red’s got the ball again and tried immediately to make a goal. You could really feel the tension in the crowd.
At the time we were fighting for our team 's playoff lives and if we wanted any chance of going there, we needed to win this game and we did, in overtime. Once it was all over and set in stone, I just collapsed to the ground in exhaustion and just completely overwhelmed with emotion.
When the final whistle was blown, I didn’t even know that the match was over and that I won. I figured out that I won when the referee raised my hand. I was so tired at the end of my match, but I was so happy that I
If I stopped this shot our team would win the game. Sweat dripped down my face, the skater came in and stick handled once, twice, took a shot, and missed the net. The team jumped out of the bench and crowded around me, I finally felt like I fit in. We ended up making it to the championship game and winning the whole tournament. It was such an
I watched the orange and black lined ball fly through the air. It went through the net. In an instant I had won the game for us. We were all gassed and didn't even want to play the next game. The game before had taken all our energy and our will to play.

With an extraordinary kick, the ball is flung pass the keeper into the top corner of the goal. Our goalie saving the impossible as the other team fights for redemption. Football is something special that only the players and the spectator's
Each time we score, the opposing team comes right down the field and scores on us. This process continues until the start of the third period where momentum starts to shift. The back of the line holds my place as the final period begins. I know that I’m going to come into the game in the clutch final minutes. I can’t let my teammates down, I need to do my best and play my game.
The sun's beating down on me and sweats dripping down my face. I set up for a throw down at second, the pitcher starts her wind up and I take two steps closer to second. Our catcher set up for the outside pitch, but misses her spot and hits down the middle. The hitter loads up and swings hitting the ball to our second baseman. The play totally changes at that point three seconds of time.
I was really hoping we would see a goal or two just to see how the fans would react and be able to join in the noise of the fans. The wish came true, in the second half the US scored two goals to win the match 2-0 for the fourth time in a row. When each goal was scored, the noise was almost painful. The amount of noise that the 22,000 people in attendance that night was fantastic. With the players celebrating and hearing the support from the fans, would have given them energy that they would struggle to find on an average night.
I notice one of my teammates Sebastian scoring and the whole team starts celebrating. As five more minutes pass and finally remember hearing the final whistle and I see everyone celebrating as we have won the championship. As we were done celebrating and packing our stuff we went in a room where I could see the big
