Soccer is a great game to play with friends if you like to have fun. The rules are very simple and pretty much anyone can play it if they know about kicking. Of course, pros are in a whole different league when it comes to soccer: the pros essentially run the game from inside of their brains, calculating every potential possibility. They then use this knowledge to take the whole field by storm - kicking, heading, and goaling all they can. For us amateurs we pretty much just do what we can, kicking and running about the place. This might even be more fun, as I imagine the pressure of analysing the game could take away from the raw thrill of just messing the hell around.
