MIA HAMM - A FEMALE SOCCER (FOOTBALL) PLAYER


Mia Hamm is the former American soccer player who competed with the US Women’s National Soccer Team for 17 years with 158 goals. This soccer star, Mariel Margaret Hamm, was born on March 17, 1972, in Selma, Alabama. She got into soccer because she had an older brother and two older sisters playing soccer and her dad refereeing their game. So, she spent most of her time at the soccer field. She realized that she loved to win. She didn’t want to be the best player in the world but there were times that she felt she was. Also, she had times she felt that she even couldn’t tie her own shoes. But, every time she stepped on the pitch whether for a practice or a game, she liked to be a factor in winning. In 1987, at the age of 15, she became the youngest person ever to play for the US Women’s National Soccer Team. Over the next 17 years, she became the leading scorer in the history of women’s international soccer with 158 goals and 142 assists. She won the Women’s World Cup in 1991 and 1999, and took Olympic gold medals in 1996 and 2004. Hamm held the record for most international goals scored until June 2013, when American player Abby Wambach broke her record. She got the name FIFA’s World Player of the Year in both 2001 and 2002. In 2004, she retired because she wanted to be a mom and start a family and she was ready to commit everything to that. For her, it was the best decision she’s ever made. Now, she has three children and, instead of soccer, they fill her life with joy and challenge her every single day. She is not only the best soccer player in the history, but she is also the person who put women soccer on map.

The Flea

Luis Lionel Andres Messi was born on June 24, 1987, in Rosario, Argentina. At the age of 8, he joined the youth system of Newell’s Old Boys Club. He was recognizably smaller than most of the kids in his age group. He was suffering from a hormone deficiency and this was restricting his growth. Messi’s parents, Jorge and Cecilia, found his cure but it was impossible for them to afford this medication. At the age of 13, FC Barcelona’s Youth Academy offered him a chance to train at soccer powerhouse and cover his all medical bills. So, Messi’s family picked up and moved across the Atlantic to make a new home in Spain with no money, no jobs. They only followed the dream that these treatments would help him become big enough to be a good soccer player. Eventually, Messi grew to 5 feet and 7 inches (1.7 m), and at the age of 16, he made his first appearance for Barcelona. In 2005, when he was 17, Messi put himself in the record books as the youngest player ever to score a goal for the franchise, Barcelona. Messi became a star in his new country, leading his club to championships. In 2012, he set a record for most goals in a calendar year, and in 2016, he got the name Europe’s Ballon d’Or winner for the fifth time. In 2013, Messi signed a contract extension through 2018 with Barcelona worth 30 million dollars. According to the sports magazines, he is the highest paid soccer player in the world.

Messi is considered to be the best soccer player in the world without question right now. Some people call him “the flea” because he is so little but for many he is the flea because the other players can’t catch him. With his short height, speed and pitiless attacking style, people often compare him to another famous Argentinean footballer: Armando Diego Maradona. And even the great Maradona boasted about his countryman. “I see him as very similar to me,” the retired player said. “He’s a leader and is offering lessons in beautiful football. He has something different than any other player in the world.”
