My favorite sports event

My favorite sports event is from a Manchester United match in 2011 against Manchester City. It was a cup game at Old Trafford. A couple of weeks before this game, there had been written a lot about Wayne Rooney in the media. Rumors about him going to City or another club in Europe, and that his relationship to Sir Alex Ferguson wasn’t that good anymore. It was several things that might affect the match. City had established in the top Premier League the recent years, and it was a local derby as well. The whole town of Manchester was turned upside down before this match.
United took the lead by Luis Nani, but later Manchester City’s Edin Dzeko scored and the score was 1-1. The fans of both teams were singing songs about the players on the opposite team, trying to make them loose their head. Ten minutes left, Nani crossed the ball into the penalty area. The ball hit Manchester City’s Micah Richards and changed direction. Inside the box several United players came running, Wayne Rooney as well. The ball came high and behind Rooney. No one, included myself, thought that he could do anything about it. Then he just threw himself and did a marvelous bicycle kick, and the ball went into the upper right corner. What a revenge! This was a kind of confirm from Rooney that he still wanted to play for Manchester United and to do his best for the club. It was also a winning goal. United sent City out of the FA cup with the score 2-1.
My stepbrother was at Old Trafford that day, and I remember receiving a text message from him that said: “Incredible!!”
This is definitely my favorite moment, and I’m sure a lot of other Manchester United fans agree with me. 

Why did you like/dislike the book?

I like this book because I think it’s interesting to see the world from a person with Asperger’s syndrome’s perspective. Christopher describes things down to every single detail, which I never do. Simple things like when  he says that he has made a card to his mother, who he thinks is at the hospital, he describes every figure on the card and how he has made them. There are also several things that affect his life because of his Asperger’s syndrome. For example if he sees four yellow cars in a row on his way to school, he has a black day. If I see four cars of a certain color, I really don’t care.
He doesn’t like physical contact, and when a person touches him he screams and hit them. So when you read this book you understand that there are a lot of things you have to deal with if you have Asperger’s syndrome or if you are related to someone who has it. He can’t understand face expressions either. So when Christopher talks to people, he can’t read their faces and understand what mood they are in.
All this examples has made it easier to understand how people with Autism or Asperger’s life is. They care about things that other people don’t see as important and they are often extremely talented in one or a couple of things. So I think that this was a good book, and I really learned something while I was reading it.
