Albert Cyprys enjoys many sports, including tennis and skateboarding.
He is a New Yorker who is fond of skateboarding through the city's five
boroughs.
But his favorite sport is probably soccer. "It's a worldwide
sport that can be played anywhere with only a ball," he says. Albert
Cyprys played intramural soccer at Fairfield
University, where he is a
student majoring in accounting, and his team was good enough to have won an
intramural championship.
Soccer, as Albert Cyprys knows, is known as football in most part of
the world, and it is widely considered to be the world's most popular sport.
People in more than two hundred companies regularly take part in the game, and
it has a far-reaching impact in many cultures. With enthusiasts like Albert
Cyprys, the game continues to grow at a steady pace.
During a soccer game, there are two teams, two nets, and one ball.
There are eleven players per team on the soccer field, Albert Cyprys says,
including the goalie. The objective is for one team to put the ball in the net
of the other team. One goal equals one point.
Albert Cyprys says that while it may sound easy, it's a little more
complicated than that. There are all kinds of strategies used by the two teams
during the course of a game. But stripped down to its basics, that is all that
is really comes down to: two teams, each defending their net, and trying to put
the ball in the net of the opponent.
