Ask any guy right now what their favourite class was back in school and they would answer PJK in a heartbeat

Sometimes we play handball, basketball, volleyball, or even hockey. Buuuuuut, there's one sport where almost everyone would enjoy together - football!

We’ve played in wet fields together and begged our teachers to let us play even though it was nearing the exam season. We’ve won together, lost together, and most importantly, bonded with our classmates over good ol’ football!

Here are the types of football players you’ve definitely encountered when you played in school:

1. The guy who would sacrifice himself for the team

Nobody wants to be the goalkeeper but someone has to do it.

2. The “nothing can stop me” football-loving guy

Rain? Nevermind. Forgot to bring PJ clothes? Nevermind. School field wet like 'sawah padi'? Who cares? Let's play!

3. The one who played football barefoot because he didn’t want to get his school shoes dirty...

... also because it provides better grip. 

4. While some just preferred to play with their school shoes because they didn't want to hurt their feet

Watch it go from white to brown in 5 minutes. 

5. The kaki bangku

Well... We all know someone who can't even kick a ball properly to save his life...

6. The school player whom everyone wants to have in their team

That one kid who will carry the team to victory week after week.

7. That one kid who would never pass the ball because he thinks he can dribble

You ain't Cristiano Ronaldo, bro.

8. The one who CAN actually dribble

You know what he's going to do but you just can't stop him. 

9. The self-appointed captain who acts like a manager at the same time

You know he’s going to scream at you every time you lose the ball because he thinks he’s the best player.

10. The one who always kicks the ball out of the school padang

Eh, don't expect us to fetch the ball for you. Go pick it up yourself.

11. The one who dives better than an Olympian diver and acts injured till he gets a free-kick

Even if he trips over his own legs, he will ask for a free-kick.

12. The one who gets emotional when he loses

Chill la bro it's just a game. Not the World Cup Finals.

13. The referee

Well.. there's no referee because everyone is the referee. If you scream, "FOUL!" loud enough, you'll get the free-kick or penalty.

14. The friend who really doesn’t want to play but was forced to by the PJ teacher

So, he ends up avoiding the ball for 30 minutes.
