My school class joined a soccer tournament when I was 10-11. I didn't usually do soccer, so I was a bit fuzzy on the rules. In the finals I, a back, found myself with the ball approaching their goal, passing everyone. I looked around for someoen to kick it to, as I wasn't supposed to be in the front, when their goaly also passed me?!
Since there was no one to kick it to, and no one even seemed to know I had the ball, I kicked it into the goal, not knowing if it was okay for me to do so, but figuring I might as well, and it counted! 😃
We ended up getting bronze medals, became a team we had kicked out earlier had been swapped back in due to some other team dropping out. But hey, I made a goal, and got a medal!! 😎
