Aliens v. Humans Football Party

William Gallie
Year 9 Le Murier School

Once upon a time there was an alien that had a birthday party and for some reason invited humans to his party as well as his alien friends.

All was going well until one of the aliens and one of the humans had an argument and it turned into a fight.

One of the other aliens said “The only way to settle this is an 11-a-side football match. If the aliens win they will rule earth, but if the humans win, we go back to where we came from”.

Everyone agreed so then the aliens hopped into their UFO and the humans hopped into their bus.

They went to a football pitch, about half an hour away. When they got there, they picked their sides and the match BEGAN!

The match was intense and after 89 minutes the score was 2-2!

In the final moments of the game, the striker for the humans was running towards the goal, but the aliens were very fast and very strong. One of the alien’s defenders made a big slide tackle and caught the striker on the ankle.

The referee blew his whistle and shouted “Penalty!!!”

Was this the big chance for the humans to go 3-2 up?

It was the 92nd minute and it was the last minute of extra time.

There was a lot of pressure on the striker's shoulders when he placed the ball down. He took a big breath and shot the ball towards the goal!! The alien goalkeeper flung himself towards the right, but the striker hit it the other way.

GOAL!!!

The striker ran off celebrating!

The aliens couldn’t believe it.

“You know the deal” said the humans.

The Aliens took off and flew back to where they came from shaking their heads and muttering “We will never invite the humans ever again”.
