Football on the Streets

Robert Watcher

My friend from Sweden and I were walking a back street in Nicaragua, when we came across a group of young boys playing soccer (football) on the street. Marcus immediately joined in and showed them some fancy European Footwork. They loved it, and took it as a challenge to show how determined they were to risk shin and bone to get the ball away from him. The onlookers found it so amusing as well. At the end there were high-5's for all.

Robert,

I like the sequence as it shows more than the soccer but also the community involvement. I hope you'll leave copies for them.

I agree Asher. It was fun watching the expressions of the people sitting by their homes and looking on from their doorways. I intend to make several prints and take them back next time I'm in that community.
