Simon: Where are you from?
Matt: I'm from a little country called England.
Simon: Oh, yeah, where in England?
Matt: All of it! I have no hometown.
Simon: OK. OK. Where do you live now?
Matt: I'm living in Tokyo, in Japan.
Simon: What do you do in your free time?
Matt: So, my main hobby is football, or soccer to the yanks.
Simon: OK. OK. Football. Yeah! What position do you play?
Matt: I'm a defender so usually I play on the right side of defense.
Simon: What's your favorite thing about defending?
Matt: My favorite things is definitely "hacking" down the stiker coming through. If he's too fast, don't worry about the ball, get the man.
Simon: OK. OK. Did you hack anybody today?
Matt: Um, I didn't hack anyone. A few people bounced off of me, but no! They're all a bunch of girls.
Simon: So you did play today?
Matt: I did play. I played two games today.
Simon: Did you score?
Matt: I did score.
Simon: Can you describe it?
Matt: Well, I was walking up from the back, there was a nice little corner. I thought, oh, I'll just wait at the edge of area. See what happens. Ball comes in, defender heads it out, bounces in front, chested it down, a nice volley into the far top corner, just over the keeper's flailing hand. Beautiful goal.
Simon: Alright! Alright! Do you do those kind of goals often?
Matt: I do those goals about once a lifetime.
Simon: So it was a pretty special day for you?
Matt: Very special day for me, yeah, definitely! I'm looking forward to the next one in about five years.
Simon: OK, thank you for that!
Matt: Cheers mate!
