Football is not just a game by @mindfreak
Football is not just a game, it's our life.
The one in the air thats me, Ya!
You have to be a die hard football fan to understand the the colossal joy of scoring goals and winning matched along with the pain and agony of loosing. The game holds the reputed position with more than 3.5 billions fans across the world considered as one of the most popular sports of all time.
A Fun Fact
A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats a minute
When Neil Armstrong first set his step on moon his pulse was 140 beats a minute, Armstrong's heart rate at one point reached 160 beats a minute.
When a football player scores a goal his heart rate goes well above 200 beats a minute.
That's what football can do to you.
I've been a fan of this sport since the age of 7. In a country like India where Sports mean Cricket it was hard for people to understand. Watching Ronaldinho play is where i fall for this game and hence Barcelona fan thereafter. I am biggest Lionel Messi fan. I am 21 and I am neither a professional player or something I am just a fan of football, football players and whole process involved.
It has given me the best years of my life playing it, and still provides me with the motivation I need to go about my daily life. I only attend my college these days so that i can go to play after class in the ground. It's the only thing that finds a way to clear out my mind completely when I need it most.

I know that probably sounds abs0lutely ridiculous and absurd because nothing can really stop us from thinking and driving ourselves crazy, but we all have something sensational in our body that transports us into another world, if even only for 90 minutes.
Football saved my life. I was in a heavy state of depression at one time, football is one that helped me come out of it.
(Maybe i will tell this story some day later)
You see, the football fans know it's just a game. But we've invested our emotions in the game. We are forced on our feet when we see a spectacular goal being scored. We scream in frustration when a player misses an easy goal. We shout curses when the referee awards a wrong decision. We get ecstatic when our favourite team wins a game. We get depressed when the team we support loses. We are delighted when someone plays that sumptuous through pass. We are horrified when a player makes that awful tackle.
Football is a game of 90 minutes and thousands of emotions. Our lives may not depend on it, but it damn well affects our lives.
No matter where are you from or how old you are, all you need is a ball at your feet and magic happens. It is not only easy to understand, it’s easy to play.
Feeling of being on the football field is indescribable.
Look at this video, it certainly not JUST a game for them :
So ya,
Football is not just a sport, it's a religion,
Football is not just passion, its an emotion,
Football is not just eleven, we're millions,
Football is not just a game, it's our life!
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.
