New Force Is Coming

A new sporting force is coming to the reporting world of Sporting Sport Opinions.  It comes in the presence of a sporting dream team in Bundaberg. This is a team that rivals any Football dream team that you can put together. If you are thinking of a football team assembled with the likes of Pele, Maradona, Beckenbauer, Messi, Charlton, Eusebio, Best, Cruyff, Platini, Ronaldo, Maldini & Zidane then you are far from where a dream team lies.

A true dream team is not one that is assembled with the great from different eras both present and past.  Instead I refer to a team that has dreams of where they are going. One that is yet to realise their dreams and has not been told that those dreams are impossible.  I am talking about the St Luke's/North Bundaberg Under 9 Football side.

Anfield in Full Colour

One boy already has a dream of walking out onto Anfield, proudly wearing the red of Liverpool as the Kop chant his name.  He knows that Europe is the heart of the game and in his eyes that is where his destiny lies. The halls of La Masia, the youth academy of FC Barcelona, are where this young player may one day learn his trade, in the same way that his football idol Lionel Messi learnt his.  I don't question his dreams, I don't squash his dreams. I tell him it is possible if he puts in the effort.  Will he get there?  Only time will tell.  But that is why this is a true dream team. In their minds anything is possible, so in that theory this team will be better than any team that can be assembled today.

Over the season I will be bringing the highlights of each round as this team shows the wares on the sporting field and hopefully go home after each game with the glory of sporting triumphs. Each week they will be doing their club, their school, their family and more importantly themselves proud.  They play in the spirit of the game and to the best of their ability forever improving. If past seasons are any indication, they will again be the highlight of my sporting year. By the season end this will be a team of dreamers that will be closer to being a team of champions.
