The Chicago Bears Yesterday was a very exciting day at Soldier Field in Chicago. I was not there, but I listened on the radio, as the Chicago Bears came from behind to beat the Carolina Panthers in an NFL football game. If you are not from the US, you may confuse football with soccer. Soccer is played in the US, with a round ball that is to be kicked into a goal or net. In American Football, the ball is more shaped like an egg. It is not exactly round. Football is a very fun game, and this year is very exciting for the Chicago Bears, as they are in first place with a 6-1 record.
