A great memory from 1987... full of laughs and smiles...
There appeared to be a break in the action during the school day evening soccer match. I was a parent coach and quite happy if the kids were just having fun and running in the right direction. It is harder to accomplish than it looks. My kids were in red. This was just down the back hill from our home on Western Avenue.
Apparently soccer is the most played game in the world. It only requires a ball to kick around a field. It may have started more than 2000 years ago in ancient China. Greece, Rome, and parts of Central America also claim to have started the sport. Apparently it was England that transitioned soccer or what many people call "football" into the game we were playing on the pitch in Schomberg. The English are created the first rules for the sport including forbidding the tripping of opponents and touching the ball with hands.
The people were all giggling at some story. The chip truck was parked in the traditional spot in the background.
