The ball seemed to move in slow motion as it arced out of the sunny sky towards her. Her eyes followed it as it hit the ground, almost seeming to settle in the trimmed green grass, before leaping skywards again.
The world suddenly shifted gears as two sets of powerful legs rushed into view. Her eyes were dragged from the lazily bouncing ball to the contest of strength occurring between the players pursuing it. She could see the muscles of their legs moving under the skin. Sharply-defined thighs pistoning as the two men powered themselves forward, each attempting to reach the ball before the other.
The defending player stumbled slightly under the pressure from the attacker, and the attacker suddenly leapt ahead and cushioned the bouncing ball on his chest, controlling it to settle into a gentle roll ahead of his stride. Without breaking his stride, he swung his left leg at the ball and kicked it back across the field towards the penalty area.
Thousands of eyes tracked the ball as it began to drop into the path of another attacking player. She could see him tense and then launch himself head first at the dropping ball. His forehead met it perfectly and the ball powered into the corner of the goal.
This was her first time at a football match. Friends had invited her before, but she had always found an excuse not to, not really understanding the appeal. Today something unconscious seemed to draw her to the stadium and she had decided to come alone.
The crowd seemed to pause for a moment, gathering itself before moving forward as one and letting out a thunderous roar as the ball hit the back of the net. She found herself caught up in the raw release of emotion, shouting as loud as those around her.
