Albadin 1

This observation was taken for the first haft of Real Madrid and Granada match at the Santiago bernabeu in Spain, Madrid. This match is one of the Spanish league Real Madrid is the third in standing and Granada is the eleventh. If you do not know about soccer you will notice that there are lexis that could be unfamiliar to you, but I am going to explain them. This game is very special to Real Madrid fans because the star of the team just won of the Ballon dOr, which is given to the best player in the world. Figured World: I think of it as group of people who share the same goal and the live in the same community. In the club there are a lot of rules between the player each other and between the fans. The players have to come to the training on time and they have to respect the coach choices. For example, the players who are assigned to start the game and who are going to stay on the bench has to accept the coach chooses. In the stadium the fans and the players are not allowed to smoke. The club has penalty for the fans that come down to the field. The fans participant is very important to give the players enthusiasm to give their best and that could be very loudly and that acceptable. They have to respect the referees decisions. The unity between the players is recommended to win. Playing with sportsmanship is required for example; when player from the other team injured you have to stop the ball even if the referrer complete the game. Sometimes the fans make sirens censure for certain player and he has to be calm and respect that. In the stadium you cannot carry bags with you for security reasons. Sleeping during the game could be indecent. Because that is might consider offensive to the team. In this figure world if player move to club in the same city, that might make the fan hate him. Players have to respect each other and do not cause problems.

Actors: Are the people who play the roles in the figured world and without them we cannot say that there is figured world.

Albadin 2 In my observation there are actors who I have mentioned and I will list their names and their roles. Carlo Ancelotti: He is the head coach and the manger of the team. He is Italian and he is quiet compering to the previous manger he just arrived to the team and he is in his first year. Cristiano Ronaldo: He is the star of the team and one of the important players in the team he has the highest salary among soccer players in the world and he is the best player in the world. His nickname is CR7 and its taken from his name and the shirt that he wears. He has a serous character in the field, he plays as left-winger in the team and sometimes move from left to right. Gareth Bale: He is the second most expensive player in the world. He just moved to Real Madrid and he cost the club 93 million dollars. He is young and talented player. Karim Benzem: He is a French player and he plays as striker. A lot Real Madrid fans say that he is lazy player, but I think he is doing well since the beginning of this season. Sergio Ramos: He is the captain of the team and he plays as defender. He won the world cup and most of the prizes that any soccer player wishes to win. He is a strong player and sometimes he commits a lot of fouls and he has the highest red card in the team history. Marcelo Vieira: He plays in the defiance in the left side and he makes a wonderful dual with Cristiano. He is the guy that makes the players laugh and he has nice character. He always smiles. ngel di Mara: He is front midfielder and he crates goals. He is a selfish player he does not pass the ball if he has a chance to score, but that does not mean he has not skilled he know how to pass the ball from a great distance. Luka Modri: He is midfielder and he is one of the important players. He moved to Real Madrid last yare he cost the club 33 million. His nickname is the magical man. His role in the team is to connect the defiance lines to offensive lines. Artifacts: I think of artifacts as the objects that have meaning to the person who has it and sometimes it old. The Ballon dOr: it is golden ball it looks like the soccer ball and it is giving to the best player in the world, which is choosing by the FIFA (The Fdration International de Football Association). The soccer ball: This object has meaning for all of the players in the filed are looking for it and the game is biased on it. Referees flag: This flag is raised when one of the players makes a foul. When the referee raise it the game stop. So it is important to be attention for it. Referee whistle: the referee uses it to stop the game and start.

Albadin 3 Referee cards: he has two cards the first card is the yellow, which means a caution and another one will send off a player, the red card means you are out of the game.

Discourse Communities: It is the people who have something in common and they have the same goals. The referees: There are 4 referees in the game. The referees try to enforce justice between the two teams. Ramos, Pepe , Marcelo all of them have to stop the players from the other team from scoring and defense. Literacy Practices : It is the way that people communicate with each other on sometimes it is written and sometimes it is spoken. Carlo Ancelotti during the game asked his player to change their position and he was speaking to Bale to change his place with Ronaldo. Benzema made a sign using his hand for his colleagues to make pressure on the other teams defense. The goalkeeper asked his friends to make human wall by speaking to them and give them sign. Ronaldo was so sad and disappointed when he missed a goal you can notice that from his body language. Note: Real Madrid started the game with eleven players: (the numbers next to the names are the numbers that on the players shirts): 25 Diego Lpez (goal keeper) 3 Pepe (defender) 4Ramose (defender) 7 Cristiano Ronaldo (foreword) 9 Karim Benzema (striker) 11 Gareth Bale (Midfielder) 12 Marcelo (defender) 14 Xabi (Midfielder) 15Carvajal (defender) 19 Modric (midfielder) 22 Di Maria (midfielder) Lexis : A corner: means that the player has to play the ball from the corner.

Albadin 4 Offside: Offside position a player is in an offside position if "he is nearer to his opponents'
goal line than both the ball and the second to last opponent," unless he is in his own half of the field of play. A player level with the second to last opponent is not in an offside position.

Cross-: moving the ball from the right to the left or from left to the right. Box: the place that close to the goalkeeper and he can catch the ball inside it.

Before the game started the fans in the stadium made a beautiful a picture and it said CR7. It means Cristiano Ronaldo they made it because it is the first home game for Ronaldo since he won the best player title and prize. 10:01 the head coach Ancelotti seem very relax(I think because the last four wins for the team). 10:02 Granada first chance but Pepe hit the ball and it goes to a corner. 10:05 Gareth Bale try to make a run in the right side but Granada defense stop him. 10:07 offside against Granada called by the second referee (Real Madrid players raised their hands to get the second referee attention). 10:08-09 Gareth bale was fouled and it seem serious. 10:11 it is corner for real Madrid and Modric play it to Ramos who hit by his head and it goes out. 10:13 Real Madrid fans cheer Gareth bale and the cheer the club name. 10:15-16-17 Granada players keep holding the ball and Real Madrid players try to make a pressure. 10:17 Ramose and Marcelo commit a foul and the referee give Ramose yellow card and he talked with referee ramose seem unhappy with the referee decision. 10:18 the coach is talking with the players and gives them instructions. 10:22 the pressure is higher from real Madrid players and Benzima miss a great chance to score. 10:25 Ronaldo make a beautiful run and he shoot the ball but he miss the target .

10:27 corner for Real Madrid and Di marih played it to Ramose who pass the ball to Benzima and he score, but the third referee raised his flag and he cancel the goal Benzima was offise. Albadin 5 10:28 Benzima make a sign for his colleagues to make pressure. 10:36 the game still nil to both team. 10:37 Gareth shoot a ball but it is very wide. 10:42 the coach seems unhappy of his players performance.

10:45 the referee add one minute one the original time (I think he add it because of Gareth injury). 10:45-46 Modric made a cross from the right side to the box which Cristiano was taken a place in it and he made a bicycle kike which seem tremendous play the goal keeper made a wonderful safe and put the ball away(Ronaldo seem very sad and unhappy and he moved his hand which seem that he is unhappy). The referee used his whistle to stop the game and that means the end of the first half. I made a video in the link:
