4. SUMMARY
As of this year the US Women's National Team has played a total of 3 games internationally with 2 losses and a win. Last year the team played a total of 25 games, won 22 and tied 3. In 2015, the USWNST won the Fifa Women's World Cup in Canada with Carli Lloyd three of the five goals winning the title against Japan. Although the USWNST has won many gold olympic medals they did not receive the title last year or even make it to the finals and the title was taken by Germany. Three important rules in soccer are you cannot touch the ball with your hand or arm unless you are the goalie, you cannot be offsides or past the last defender before the ball is kicked, and you must take the correct kicks for when the ball goes out of bounds in certain areas. Jargon that is used in soccer includes Maradona, nutmeg, and hat trick. The Maradona is a move used when you want to pass a player where you use your body to spin around the ball distracting the other player. A nutmeg is when the ball goes through someone legs in anyway. A hat trick is when a single player scores three goals or more in a single game. A cliche is that male soccer players are actors because of the amount of fake injuries players use to get foul on the other team. This is true but it is strategical towards the game and helps the team if they are loosing badly. An athlete who is a legend is Lionel Messi also known as one of the best soccer players in the world. Messi was born on June 24, 1987 and he did not go to college. He currently plays for Barcelona and previously played on Argentina. He is the only player in history to score more then 40 goals in 8 consecutive seasons and he has won the most FIFA Ballon d'Or awards.
