FOOTBALL : I have a huge craze for football. Passion for football is in my veins. All study/work and no play makes a dull boy/girl, this's a reality. Playing encourages to participate, socialise, cooperate and team up. It allows to experiment with situations and toughens them up physically and mentally.

Of all the games, football is my hot favorite. According to me, it is the most interesting and existing game. The ground on which the game is played is like a battlefield. The players experience the thrill of real fighting; the spectators to share the thrill.

Though cricket is often called the king of games, it is not as exciting as football. The main feature is that it is a body contact game and there is always some action in it. It is played between two teams, with eleven players each side who aspire for scoring goals against the opponent. The duration of the play is usually 90 minutes, an a referee conducts the game.

On the other hand, food is a game that is played in equal terms. The first lesson that a footballer learns is that s/he is just a member of the team. S/he feels a sense of belonging with other fellow-players while s/he is at play. The game of football develops in a players endurance and keenness of vision in a player. The game involves more speed and physical agility than any other games, it often injuries to the players. In some cases, accidents and injuries prove fatal. But such risks act as a stimulus to the intrepid sprit of youth.

It is very interesting to watch the progress of the game. The players of both side play tirelessly to score goals after goals against the opponent team. The potshots, various types of dribbling and diagonal passes delight not only me, but also all the spectators. The spectators get involved unknowingly with the game. Thus, they become active participants in the game. When a skilled player like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo is with a ball on his feet, he is a sheer delight to watch.

Victory is not important; the spirit of the game is more important. Even if a team loses, the players heartily shake hands with their victorious opponents. We should play football from our teens. Every school school should have a playground to play football. Participation in the game allows school -children to escape from the drudgeries of daily routine.

I really enjoyed to answer the question, thank you.
