The soccer blog
Why a soccer blog? For the past couple of weeks we have been working on a blog about soccer. During these weeks i have learnt a lot and remembered a lot from others and myself. We chose soccer because it is a group sport, it revolves around many people and we thought it perfectly encompasses a group assignment. We also completely love the sport. Soccer brings people together and brings out the best in people by contrasting and working off of every person involved a group assignment parallels this, through working together we were able to come up with ideas and create a blog which represents not only each member individually but also as a group. We, like players on a soccer side, worked together to achieve a goal, everyone had a certain position, everyone played a part. The posts are a mix of personal, historical and factual information and hopefully you find it as interesting reading it as we did writing it. -Michael
