- Soccer is Bo's favorite sport because he enjoys the running, which feels like a zigzagging race while kicking the ball.
- Basic soccer equipment is not expensive, making it easy to play casually anywhere with grass; players can wear tennis shoes at home but cleats help with grip and quick turns.
- A soccer team has 11 players, including one goalkeeper who is the only player allowed to handle the ball with hands; other players use feet, legs, chests, or heads.
- A soccer game lasts 90 minutes, split into two 45-minute halves, with continuous play and minimal stopping, unlike baseball, basketball, football, or hockey.
- Bo liked playing as a midfielder because it involved the most running, helping both defense and offense, taking shots, setting up plays, and getting assists to help his team score and win.
