Interview 1- transcription

IN PROGRESS

here’s some paper and a pen feel free to use it if you want, don’t if you don’t. only if it helps you explain

okay, explain to me soccer

soccer I think originated in Europe by the Italians I think it was the italians
it is very common in latin america
we actually call it football
football is for us
because it is foot and ball
and my dad was a
well
he used to coach a long time ago but he just doesn’t do it anymore
you have to exercise a lot and you have to be a really good runner
I’m not sure what the different roles you gotta play
Some are runners
Some are the ones that stop the goal
Um
Theres
I think the world series for baseball
I think it’ s very similar to
The world cup it’s called
That’s like the big game
Right now I think that argentina and brazil
To us it’s a big thing
Like kids over there get together
They just go and sit with their family and watch the whole thing
Brazil and argentina are the ones that win
I think if you don’t
Let’s say if a third world country actually wins there’s no way they can keep on playing
We don’t have like a stadium
So
They just give it to the loser anyway
I know some people
This is really cool
IN central America they have the Aztecs and the myans
The myans yused to play with a rock and usually the warriors would play it
It was to show that you were brave
Who ever would win would be beheaded sacrificed
If you were a loser you would just look bad
The sacrifices are usually
Their not going to sacrifice their losers
They have to sacrifice the best people
They would even sacrifice virgins, priests and warriors
Maybe that’s why it’s
You can get pretty hurt a lot
I’ve heard of
Not just a physical thing
People have to play in the rain
People have died of getting electrocuted you know like by lightening
I know this guy he is Columbian and he has this big hair
I forget his name
Roberto carlos madilona
And now he is a big cocaine addict
But he’s praised in argentina
Even though he did a lot of drugs
Actually he is still doing drugs

I know my favorite one is brazil
Like in 1993 I thing
We won, my country wob
We didn’t have a stadium
I wish I knew where we were playing this year

It’s also played in the united states
It’s called soccer, not football
They have girls
Girls can play
I was in tenth grade and I didn’t make it
I thought it was going to be easy but you have to run so much
It’s so exausting
Most of the girls that made it on the team were muscular and really tall girls and good in other sports
But you know it just takes practice

In mexico it is a big big big thing
My dad
How Mexicans how they are
That’s their life and everyone just stops what their doing
And they cry about not about catastrophies and things like that but about their favorite team losing
There are a lot of fans
Argentina and mexico when they go to the games and their favorite team loses
They start getting into fights and then it get’s really bad and kids get hurt
Abd they start breaking things

I’ve heard that in places like up north
Their team loses
The college students start going crazy and throwing things

I don’t think every country in latin America has a football- soccer team
Usually the big countries
The ones that are economically well are the ones that usually get elected
Because they are good and they take good care of them
I know in hondouras they get paid in crap
Yeah it’s called the world cup now I remember
I know mexico
And of course the United stated
I know the girl in the gatoraide commercerial
I think she retired
That’s the only person that I know
She is a big big thing in the soccer world
Usually male dominated

The Japanese I think are kinda good
And um I don’t know if the united stated I think
They’re playing germany this year
You know like the world series
They have the different levels of competition
The Americas competition
A thing with in central America
From there they start picking
It becomes like a drop
From there I becomes smaller and smaller
I know that argentina has won many times and that’s why they are so concided
And in my high school there were a lot of argentinian people
Arg and peru
They used to wear their soccer shirts who ever they were going for they would wear it
That’s their life, it’s kinda sad

I also used to play just for fun I used to play with a couple other guy that I didn’t really know with
And myself and my other friend
And be able to play but usually the guys
They didn’t let us use the ball
How do you actually play
How do we play
We have 2 teams
And there is a net on each side
And the goal
Goal haha
For each team is to go and make a goal
And Kick the ball in the opposite in the opposite end
If it touches the net it is in
It’s supposed to touch it all the way
If it goes just in half way it’s not considered a goal
They wear these gloves like ti block it
When they get too close so the guy is able to get the ball from him
So the guy is able to get the ball
And so the people have to go back to the middle
Go back to their positions
The guy who blocks the ball has to kick it to his team and start all over again
Also when it’s time out
When it’s time to
When they run out of time
So now they have to
I don’t know what they call it
I think they call it goalie
They start like getting
I not really sure how it goes
Yeah when they run out of time
And it’s like tight
Each member has to try and score
I think the whole team
Has to get in the front and
And one of the players from the opposite team
No I’m not sure
It’s complicated
After they run out of time
Each member each player
Has one chance to make a goal
After one player tries to make it then a play
Until they run out of players
Whoever made the most goals
I don’t know how to explain it
I’m not a soccer fan as you can see
But it’s fun to watch better then baseball because there is a lot of running
I know mexico has their own um
They play against each other with in the country
Each state or province plays against each other
I think that’s about it, I don’t know much

Thank you very much
I now understand the game of soccer.
