| Irene
hadn't thought that this would be a problem. Surely there must be
a soccer team that she can play on. When her parents decided to move
to Italy for the year, Irene had researched the country on the Internet.
She found references to girls' soccer teams so she is shocked to find out
that she may have to sit out the season. But, she is allowed to join
the boys' team. She is astounded by their reaction to her.
They really do not want her to play. Join Irene as she experiences
culture clashes both on and off the field. |
