Location: This is the general shape of a soccer field.

Observation 1

Sunday, January 26 1:30-2:15

Monday, January 27 5:30-6:15

Rules and Conventions: I am observing the Barclays Premier League for my figured world. It is

a soccer league in England. It is considered the best league in the world by many. People all around the

world watch these games every week because they love soccer. Soccer is a huge part of many different

cultures. Children all around the world can just grab a ball and start kicking it around with friends.

The games take place on a soccer field inside of a stadium. The fields look massive on television.

The players need to be in shape to run such long distances. With every sport there are rules. The basic

rules are: each team tries to kick the ball into the opposing teams net, the teams must stay inside the

outer white lines on the field, and each team can defend the opposing team by kick or stealing the ball

away as long as they do not foul. Fouls are unacceptable during the game, but the problem is that it is up

to the referee of how strict he wants to enforce the rules. Two footed slide tackles are always a bad

thing, but a full arm extension is not always considered a foul. If a foul is bad enough the “ref” will show

a card. Yellow is a dangerous tackle and red is for a very dangerous foul. Red cards can also be given for

fouling on an open run that could result in a goal, or hand balling, hitting the ball with your arm from

slightly above the elbow to the fingers, to stop a goal. Two yellow cards equals a red card.

There are a few discourse communities in the game. First there are the teams. These are the

most important ones. The fans are the second community on the list. They cheer their teams on to try to

motivate them to win. The coaching staffs try to prepare the teams for the games and try a make

decisions during the game to help their team gain an advantage.

Each team has a goal keeper, a defense, a midfield, and an offense. The keeper is the last line of

defense for the goal. The defense is the main protection of the goal. The midfield is transition from

defense to offense. Offense is the main goal scoring position.

Location: Stamford Bridge, Chelsea, London, England

Actors: The referees play a part by keeping the players in line and judging boundaries.

The coaches determine strategy for the game:

Jose Mourinho is the coach of Chelsea and he is one of the best coaches in the world right now.

He has never lost a game at Stamford Bridge.

The players ultimately win or lose the game:

Czech is one of the best goalie in the world. He is a big part of Chelsea’s defense.

Manchester United has two of the best strikers in the world in Rooney and Van Persie, but both

of them are hurt

Artifacts:

The soccer ball: it is what they use to play the world’s most recognized sport.

The jerseys: Each team has their own jersey design that signifies which team the players are on.

Discourse Communities:

The two main communities are the teams: Each team plays a different style with a different

formation.

Coaching staffs: Each club has their coaching staff. They try to outwit each other throughout the

game with formations and substitutes.

The fans: the fans are there to cheer their teams on and try to motivate them to win.

Literacy Practices:

Passing: This being a high level teams, ball possession is usually a very important part of their

games. They work the ball around and try to find a point in the defense to attack.

Shooting: Shooting is required for a team to win unless something crazy happens where the ball

just roll into the goal. Shooting is one of the most awesome displays of soccer you will see. They

can use pure power or finesse to beat the keeper and score.

dispossessed. Four minutes through man u is controlling the ball much more than Chelsea. Man

keep possession on the free kick and work it back to the goalie, Czech. He kicks it up the field

and after ball bounces back in forth between both teams, but Chelsea is finally able to gain

possession. The ball is working to Eto’o on the right side and he makes a beautiful off-ball juke

and makes the defender jump. He dribble slightly closer to the goal, but shoots outside the box

on the right corner of the goalie box with his weak foot and he nets a fantastic goal far post out

of the reach of de Gea. After the restart luiz gets a yellow card for a dangerous tackle when he

hits Danny Welbeck after the ball was passed away. Neither team keeps much possession until

21 minutes in when Chelsea works it around the field and eventually to hazard on the

left wing who dribbles by his defender and crosses the ball in to what would have been a goal

until it took a deflection off the defense. The corner kick is too hard and soars over the players.

finally gets control of the ball and makes their way up the field. Oscar gets the ball and is

indecisive. He ends up shooting and missing on the opposite side of the goal. Man u quickly

moves the ball up field and they get another cross in, but no Chelsea defender is there to clear

49 minutes: Samuel Eto’o scores and easy shot of a deflection from de Gea after Gary

Cahill heads the ball towards goal. Next Evra comes off injured and Smalling comes in. Chelsea

something from this game. They give the ball away and Chelsea works it around to Willian on

the right wing where he is fouled by Ashley young. Chelsea take their kick and work it around.

Ramieres gets the ball, but he gives it away.

of Chelsea’s side. After passing the ball around they find a hole. Jones receives the ball and he

makes a perfect pass to Chicharito who slides along the ground and reaches the ball and scores.

Chelsea 3, Manchester United 1. Eto’o comes off and Torres comes on for Chelsea. The game

further behind the top 4 and have almost no chance of making up the ground in the league

feet. He gets a yellow card since it was dangerous but not as bad as Vidic.

95 minute: Game ends 3-1 Chelsea

Observation 2

stadium was different. The location was in Tottenham

Lloris is a key player for Tottenham. He is their goalie and he’s one of the best. Aguerro is one of the best

something going on offense, but Man City is keeping them out. Spurs finally find a break in the defense

and Adebeyor shoots but is deflected out for a corner. Eriksen takes the corner but the goalie comes up

with the ball. Man City is such a fast team. They move straight up the field and get a cross in to Aguerro.

reacts with such little time, and dives in the opposite direction of his movement ad cleanly blocks the

ball out.

22 minutes: Man City on the attack again. Aguerro with another shot which just goes over the bar. I

don’t remember another team being able to attack so much so fast. With a win here Man City would go

to the top of the table. They keep attacking trying to seal a win and not give Tottenham any chance to

get up field. Tottenham is keeping possession trying to find something. Rose gets the ball and knocks it

past the defender but falls very easily the ref doesn’t buy the flop and he lets play continue. Man City

gets the ball and goes on the attack. They pass the ball around trying to find a hole in the defense. They

try a chip, but it’s defended well, but Man City get it back and try attacking the other side. Rose kicks it

coming off ad Jovetic is coming on. Man City is pushing up and working to score. They are getting

dangerously close to a goal

45 minutes: 3 minutes of stoppage time. Both teams are pushing for a goal. Nothing special happened

and its half time.

45 minutes: City start off with the ball. Silva goes down. His foot got stepped on. Tottenham starts off

pushing up. They need a goal not only for a tie, but to regain some momentum and then maybe win.

They fail on the attack but they are very active in the midfield trying to steal the ball. Man City get a

through ball into Dzecko and Rose slides from being and barley kicks Dzecko before getting the ball and

that results in a penalty for Man City and a red card for rose. Toure takes the penalty and score. 2-0.

They just hold the ball and pass it around. Nothing too special until they get a ball into David Silva who

jukes his defender and shoots the ball off the posts and then rebounds off a defender to Dzecko who

scores far post. Man City is running away with this game. Tottenham is down by 3 and playing with 10

men. There seems to be no hope for the Spurs. Some of Tottenham’s players are looking to score, but

most of them look like they’ve given up on winning and just trying to prevent more goals.

56 minutes: Man City still out Possessing Tottenham a lot. Tottenham actually gets an attack together.

Maybe there’s still hope for a goal. They get a corner from a deflection. The corner is taken and it is

today. Liverpool gets in the box of Everton. Coutinho crosses to Sterling who shanks on the volley.

left side where they win a throw in. they retain possession but that comes to nothing. Liverpool trying to

score again pushes forward. They lose the bll out of bounds for a goal kick. One good thing about this

90 minutes: 3 minutes of stoppage time. Update on the Lukaku injury, ligament damage in his ankle. His

absence in the game is a huge impact. He is the leading scorer for Everton so not having him costs

everton some goal threat. Liverpool gets a late corner. They don’t push many forward as they are

winning. Both teams have given up and they await the final whistle. Game ends. 4-0 Liverpool.

Interview with Austin Vandepoll at 5:41-5:55 2/5/2014

1. What is your favorite team and why?

“My favorite team is Manchester United. My dad’s favorite player was ryan Giggs, and then

Wayne Rooney starting doing really good and I bandwaggoned. Van Persie joined the team and

he is my favorite player and he is Dutch.” ( Austin is half Dutch)

“My three favorite players are Robin Van Persie, Wayne Rooney, and Ryan Giggs. Wayne Rooney scored a

lot of goals and he was like the play maker I guess. Giggs was very loyal to the team because my dad has

alwazys talked higly of him and he is a play maker. Van Persie is dutch and I am dutch and he is like the

greatest playerin the world.

“Um they can get a new coach cause their current coach is terrible. On the bright side their team is just

behind and they just need a new coach.

“Well, I know more of the players because I watched them longer and theyre in England and I can

understand the commentary better My favorite players are in that league and I like their polayering

style.”

“Gosh I don’t know. I am plenty excitied by it, but I wish the games owudlnt end in draws so you don’t

watch a 90 minute game and feel like it was a waste. “
