The sport I've watched but never played is football. It's more common for boys than girls, but I find it interesting nonetheless. The goal of the game is for both teams to keep possession of the ball longer than their opponent and to score by hitting the ball over the net into the opponent's side. It's important to hit the ball correctly to avoid losing points. I had the chance to attend a World Cup 2022 match in Qatar between my national team and the US. I went with a group of friends who are passionate about football. I was the one taking photos and stories for Instagram, but I wasn't deeply invested in the game. I didn't know the rules well, so it wasn't as exciting for me. However, it was a new experience, and I wanted to watch at least once. I've always wondered if I'd ever get the chance to attend a game like that, and finally, I did. It was fascinating to see all the players giving their all, running the entire field, and showcasing their skills.
