Why I Like The Game Of Footballer

Many people watch football for many reasons best known to them. As for me I want to tell you why I love this game of football. Foremost of all it's FUN. When you are watching the game of football, you are entertained by the sounds, cheers, booing and the crowd. It's like being in a jamboree!

Another reason is that it bring people TOGETHER! Even if football is played in the street corners, you i'll still see people stop to watch. It has this pull that brings people together. All ages come together to watch, celebrate and talk about the game. See what I mean!

Furthermore, football is a SPORTS and its good for the HEALTH. It's rare to see a football player fall sick. He/she might be injured but not sick.

It creates FRIENDSHIP. In spite of some ugly incidents in football, at the end of a game, you still see both the winning and the defeated shake hands and exchange Jerseys. That's very touching!

It creates TEAM SPIRIT. In football, everyone plays as a team to achieve the same desire which is winning the match. Yes, there are some players with some special skills and talents, but each is put together for the overall objective of the team.

It is BOARDER LESS. The game can be played with a number of different race, colour or nationality. For example, Liverpool FC has players, from Africa, Europe, South America. The game looks for talent and skill of which if possessed by anyone in any race, wouldn't be discriminated.

It has potentials for TOURISM and ECONOMIC GROWTH. For example, any country hosting a world cup tournament, creates tourism and the visitors bring in great foreign exchange to that economy. Their will be newly built infrastructures, which will benefit both the host country and visitors. See what I mean!

Football helps build resilience, determination, persistent and a never giving up psychology in someone, qualities that are needed to succeed in Live. A good example can be seen in the Liverpool versus Barcelona match, in which Barcelona won the first leg by 3-0. And in the second leg, Liverpool resiliently won the second leg with a 4-0 win and later went ahead to win the finals, to lift their 6th champion league trophy. That what you can learn from the game of football!
