Goals...

Philipp Lahm scored this match winner against Turkey in Euro 2008.

Franck Ribery of Bayern Munich beat the Frankfurt keeper here, in part of a record of the quickest 10 wins in a season in the Bundesliga.

And Ronaldo beats Dutch keeper Maarten Stekelenburg.


Strikers like Wayne Rooney, shown below, are played to score goals. When our favourite team, eg Chelsea , shown under Rooney, score, we celebrate.



We can set goals too. For example, reading the Bible more, or praying every day.

In soccer, a play maker usually sets up a striker.

We are the play maker. We set up our goals, and then, like the striker, finish them.

And don't forget to celebrate in God's love!

And when you score!
