The boys went to play football ________.

[　　]

Now children can do many nice things after school. They can read books, ride bikes, watch TV and play games. But boys like playing ball games best.

The children near my door often play football in the garden, and sometimes they break(打破) my windows. One Saturday afternoon I stay at home and read a book. After a few minutes, I close my eyes and go to sleep. Suddenly(突然) a sound(声音) at the door wakes me up. Soon a little boy comes in.

“ Not one of my windows again?”

“ Oh, no!” answers the boy. “ Your window is open this time and our ball is in your bedroom. May I get it, please?”

We were going to play against a team from a country school.They didn’t come until the last minute. They looked worse than we had thought. They were wearing dirty blue trousers and looked like farm boys.We sat down for a rest. We felt that we didn’t need any practice against a team like that.
The game began. One of us got the ball and he shot a long pass to our forward （前锋）. From out of nowhere a boy in an old T-shirt stopped the ball and with beautiful style, he shot and got two points. Then another two points in a minute. Soon the game was all over. We were beaten by the country team.  
After that, we thought a lot. We certainly learned that even though your team is very good, you can’t look down upon the others and still need to do you best. And the most important lesson we learned was: One can’t judge (判断) a person or a team only by their clothes.
【小题1】 The team from the country were in old clothes so the writer’s team _______.
