Soccer-Association football (commonly known as football or soccer) is a sport played between two teams of eleven players each, using a spherical ball. It is the world's most popular sport. The game is played on a rectangular field of grass or green artificial turf, with a goal in the centre of each of the short ends. The object of the game is to score by driving the ball into the opposing goal. In general play, the goalkeepers are the only players allowed to touch the ball with their hands or arms, while the field players typically use their feet to kick the ball into position, occasionally using their torso or head to intercept a ball in midair. The team that scores the most goals by the end of the match wins. If the score is tied at the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time and/or a penalty shootout, depending on the format of the competition.

NBA’S BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
7/1/2010 at 12:01 AM Labron James becomes a Free Agent.
Today 7/8/2010- Labron James announces that he will play for “Miami Heat” with a price tag of approx $91.6 million. According to Labron James this choice he made was the right choice for him and his family. It was a sacrifice however; he felt he had to go to the team that would enhance his chance to winning a championship.
Who is Labron?
Labron Raymone James aka “King James”, born December 30, 1984. He is known as a basketball superstar with an awesome career. When he was 18 years old after high school he skipped college and was drafted with the number one pick in the 2003 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
During his seven year NBA career some of his accomplishments include:
• During his rookie year an all record season high becoming the youngest player in the leagues history to score 40 points in a game.
• 2005-06 Season he became the youngest All Star MVP at 21 years old.
• 2009-10 Season he won the MVP for the second time in his career making him the tenth NBA Player in history to accomplish this goal.
This decision is very upsetting to the Cavalier Fans because he was a leader on their team. They showed some fans burning his jerseys (which is very tacky and immature act). Yes, I can understand the disappointment but surely I know they did not expect him to stay with the Cavaliers forever. Move on Cleveland there are other great players. Then, Miami is celebrating because they realize that Labron can enhance their team and possibly get them to the championship. However, once they get there I hope they realize that it will take more than Labron to enhance their team to beat my sixteen time World Championship LOS ANGELES LAKERS!
Congratulations to Labron James and I am a believer that you have to do what is right for you and the family!
