- The fat kid was always the goalkeeper...
- The owner of the ball decided who played...
- Penalty (otherwise called PENARITY!) was awarded
only if an injured player could curse or fight a lot... - The match only ended when everyone was tired...
- No matter how many goals you scored, the winner
would be determined by the last team to score... - No referee and linesmen. You could run with the ball
even behind the goalpost... - If you didn't participate in repairing a damaged ball you were given a match ban...
- If you're picked last, you're a loser...
- The guy who's never picked was to fetch the ball from the tree or bush when it got stuck, under the car or tunnel to play in the next game...
- When the owner of the ball got annoyed, game
over... - You were allowed to change a goalkeeper in case of a penalty...
- The most skillful player got automatic selection...the most bully player got automatic selection too.......
- No discrimination, both the children of rich and the poor played together!
- Three corners make one Penarity!
- All players help in household work of the ball owner.
- If the ball burst everyone contribute to pay the owner.
- You can't dribble the owner too much. This may lead him to stop the game by taking away his ball.
- You can go round the goalpost still return into the field and score.
- When you hit your toes against a stone and notice blood, you quickly cover the area of injury with sands as a form of first aid. Play continue.
- We called ourselves by nicknames of great players especially from Brazil and England.
- Game over when it's dark and we can barely see the ball. We all dispersed in groups to our face me I face you homes teasing one another until d last player gets home to face another round of punishment from our disciplinarian parents 🤓🤣😁🧐😳🙄.
This generation is missing a lot of free fun. They pay dearly ( in monetary terms) for today's fun.
Please add your rules that I have forgotten to mention here. 🤓
