FOOTBALL I play football for my local __1__ against other sides in the area.
Of course the __2__ aren’t paid, we’re just __3__. But anyway we
__4__ very hard in the evenings and we’re lucky because we can use
the __5__ of a local school. On the day of the __6__ we arrive early,
change, and put on __7__ suits to keep warm. Then the __8__, dressed
in black, calls the two __9__ to the centre to __10__ a coin to decide
who will play in which direction. Not many people come to watch the
game. We usually have a(an) __11__ of only one or two hundred. But
we enjoy it, whether we win, lose or __12__.
