So Close

By Marco 

As I stepped on the soccer field I could hear the roar of the crowd. "Go Tony go!" screamed out my mom.

"Common Tony you can do it!" yelled Bryan.

As I ran down the field. I could hear my heart beating rapidly as I ran the field BUM, BUM, BUM, BUM, BUM, BUM. My friend John and me were going all the way I passed it to him as one of the defenders missed trying to slide tackle me. I jumped in the air over him and had juked the second forward. As I headed down the field, I looked back and saw Jimmy get slide tackled, but as I was running down the field John stole the ball back and passed it forward to me.

"Tony look out!" John screamed out. One of their defenders was going to plow right into me. I turned around to try to dodge him, but as I was running past him I felt something hit my knee but I ignored him it. I was running down the field I was almost within kicking range. My adrenaline was pumping. I was about to kick the ball.

Then all of a sudden a great pain took over my whole body. It was my shin it was bleeding tremendously. The pain was so tremendous that I almost started to cry. My coach called a time out looked at it and said it a deep cut. As they carried my down the field I thought to myself. I was so close, so close to scoring the final goal.
