An Exci ng Soccer Match
Last Saturday my best friend Albert and I went to see a soccer match. We watched our two favorite teams, Monarcas Morelia and America. It was the tenth week of the season and the day was much colder than the rst weeks. We were excited because I love Monarcas Morelia and he loves America.
The seats were good, but I wanted something closer to the eld. However, we sat and enjoyed the game. Well, we enjoyed it un l we started arguing. The problem with Albert and I is that we both think our team is be er than the other. He always says to me that America’s soccer players are faster, stronger, and smarter than Monarcas. I never agree. On this day, he was wrong. Monarcas played a lot be er than America. It looked stronger and more intelligent than America.
One thing I didn’t like was that the food and drinks were much more expensive than last season, and now they taste worse. I was surprised that a bag of chips and a soda cost $55 pesos. Also, the glass of soda was smaller than normal glasses of soda. So I was a li le sad about my meal, and I was hoping to get something more delicious a er the game. But I was happy because Monarcas Morelia beat America 3 – 0.
On the way home, I talked about how much be er my team was than America. My best friend was ge ng angry and I no ced he was driving a lot faster than usual. We were lucky he didn’t crash. Finally, he saw a police car so he started to drive slower. We made it home safe and overall it was a great day. Although we ght, it is more fun and exci ng going to games with my best friend than anyone else.
