Viral interaction between teens and police officer

A late night soccer session on Long Island took an unexpected turn when a group of teens noticed a police officer approaching their field. All right, instead of getting kicked out, the teens got a master class in footwork from a former college star wearing a badge. I love this. Fox 5's Jodi Goldberg has the story behind the video that scored more than 18 million views. I did not think he could play. He was moving like Michael Jackson. These teenagers assumed cops were blowing the whistle on their practice until an officer stepped up to take this shot instead. I thought they were going to, like, kick us out and say, you're not supposed to be here this late. I approached them, and I was like, hey, who wants to play me 1v1? He's one of my good friends, even off-duty. I was like, hey, should I go score, like, some penalty kicks on them? I know he's very good at soccer. I dare him to go score on some kids. He was like, you won't. And then he was like, I dare you. I was like, all right. Turns out the man behind the badge is a former college star who still has game. Never practiced with the uniform on. I took my glasses off. I was like, yeah, I'm not challenging him. The next day I woke up and I saw it just everywhere. And I was like, wow, we're famous. Did you think it would go viral? No, I didn't. Not at all. I never expected it to go up to 18 million views. A Brazilian news network posted it. And I was like confused. I was like, whoa, how did that get up there? But it's definitely awesome. This is the picture taken the night it started. And this picture just two weeks later. Same players, different day. But the biggest win actually has nothing to do with the score. Their reaction was definitely priceless and it's definitely going to be a core memory for me and hopefully for them too. When you're 17, 18 years old and you see a cop climbing a fence, your first inclination is to run away. That certainly would have been mine at that age. I'm very, very happy that they didn't do that. They stayed. I know I had a good experience with that. A rematch anyone? Hey, I wouldn't be opposed to that. I need that rematch. I was not expecting those kills out of him at all. What started with six teenagers worried about a curfew ended up inspiring a few of them to follow in their footsteps. I want to be cops like them one day too, because I like helping people too.
