Fields of Desire

I've never been able to play soccer very well. When I was younger I only played because I was attracted to one of the girls at school who liked to play. I was too distracted by admiring her to pay attention to the ball. Now that I'm older, I'm too distracted by the way the goals line to pay attention to the ball.

It's no wonder professional soccer players have to be paid huge sums of money, why else would they pay attention to the ball instead of their more passionate desires?
