    I have to begin by thanking you again for your support, prayers, and encouragement to the Mathews. Becky was diagnosed with a form of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and has to undergo chemotherapy for the nest 18 weeks
    when continued treatment will then be determined. As a wife, city commissionaire, Parent Mentor at BECEP Early Intervention and mother of five, this news was incredibly unexpected and life changing. Becky has luckily been able to take a leave of absence from her job at BECEP. The Mathews’ children are current and graduate players of our club.

    As a member of Magic Soccer FC, you have experienced firsthand the family feeling of our club and our soccer community. Even through significant growth of the past years, our club has retained our warmth, our mission, our vision, and the sincere connection among its members. Our Magic families don’t only come to support their kids at soccer events, they do life together and contribute time and effort to our club’s foundation.

    Becky Matthews has embraced this culture around our club since the early days of the club. The Matthews have donated their time and resources to serve many families. They are compassionate about giving and serving others.

    I am asking for our club to stand together to support and honor Becky Mathews through this difficult time. We are dedicating $3000 of our club revenue to help the Matthews cover medical or possible upcoming travel expenses. Considering the past support and generosity of our members, we are writing today, therefore, to ask for a special show of commitment to help match our gift to the family. We would also like to emphasize that the family is only asking for strength and prayer.

    Please consider joining us to honor and support Becky Matthews. The GoFundMe link is below.

    With Love,

    Reviews for "The Magic of Bismarck's Soccer Skills: Beyond the Political Stage"

    1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "Magic Soccer Bismarck". I found the gameplay to be quite repetitive and the controls were clunky. The concept of soccer mixed with magic sounded interesting, but it lacked the execution I was hoping for. The game also had a lot of technical issues, with frequent crashes and slow loading times. Overall, it just didn't live up to my expectations and I wouldn't recommend it to others.

    2. Samantha - 2.5/5 - "Magic Soccer Bismarck" had potential, but it fell short in a number of areas. The graphics and visuals were decent, but the gameplay itself felt unpolished. The magic elements added an interesting twist, but it didn't feel well-integrated with the soccer mechanics. Additionally, the AI of the opposing team was frustratingly unbalanced, making it difficult to enjoy the matches. While it had some promising aspects, the overall experience left me wanting more.

    3. Mike - 1/5 - I have to say, "Magic Soccer Bismarck" was one of the worst games I've played in recent memory. The controls were incredibly clunky, making it difficult to navigate and perform basic actions. The AI of the teammates was also incredibly frustrating, often making silly mistakes and hindering any chance of winning a match. The game lacked depth and variety, and it quickly became repetitive and boring. I regret spending money on this game and would advise others to avoid it.
