On the first day of the World Cup 2022, Jack Grealish made the 6th goal (进球). This action helped his team to win the game. It was a really great goal. But it was Jack’s goal celebration (庆祝动作) that really caught the eye. He opened his arms and moved like a flying bird. He did so for his big fan, Finlay. Finlay is a 11-year-old boy. He has a serious health pro blem, just like Jack’s little sister. Jack made a promise to let Finlay choose his next goal celebration. And he kept his promise.
Like Jack, many soccer players have their own goal celebrations. For example, Lionel Messi usually points two fingers to the sky. Some of the most common celebrations are jumping very high, running with open arms or kissing the logo on the T-shirt. They do these to show their happiness, to let people know they are excited, or to remember someone they love.
