From personal experience, playing any type a game of any type of sport is almost impossible unless you have subs. In a soccer game, the MetroStars found themselves in this predicament when 9 of their players couldn't play. Out of these 9 players, 5 were national team call-ups and 4 on the regular roster were injured. Their opponents? The LA Galaxy with a record of (6-4-3) beating the MetroStars (4-3-4). One of the new subs was Kenny Arena, son of Bruce Arena the coach of the United States national team. He scored one of the two goals the Stars scored on the Galaxy while beating them 2-1. At halftime when reporters went up to him to chat about his goal he rushed into the locker room to sow up a scratch on his head showing that he felt it was a great honor to get to play in this game. That goal was his first ever in a professional soccer game.
