Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

- Since Cyril left the team, it's not the same any more! - I agree! He may have had many faults, he stopped goals like no one else. And Thomas, despite his best efforts, clearly lacks experience. - That's for sure! Henri's goal in the top corner earlier, Cyril would have never let it go through! - Yeah...but if you bump into him, don't talk to him about it. he would get big-headed! We just have to find a good substitute. - I may know someone who could fit the bill. - That would be such a relief ! Without a good goalie, our team has no chance of qualifying. - I'll keep you posted.
