Football

Put simply,it is the best form of sport without any arguments.It has an estimated 3.5 billion fans worldwide.It is the most passionate of sports and i will touch on various football topics including the greatest debate which is the Messi Vs Ronaldo debate.

1.Passionate fans

Undoubtedly,football attracts lots of passion from the fans and players.The players give everything they have and fight till the last kick of the game.The fans have their backs,singing and praising the players urging them to fight harder.However hefty the ticket fees are,the fans still pay to see their favourite team and players.

The fact that some fans react violently after losing a match goes a long way in exposing the amount of passion associated with football.

2.Rivalry

Not mentioning the rivalry in football would be the greatest understatement in a football discussion.It is this rivalry that creates intensity in a football match and gives the players the urge to fight for a win.The most famous rivalry being the El Classico(Real madrid Vs Barcelona).The biggest in England being Liverpool Vs Manchester United despite inconsistent perfomance in recent years by the latter.

3.Footballers’ salaries

The question of whether footballers are overpaid has been on many different forums and people have different opinions regarding this issue.Personally,they are worth their salaries simply because they are the best at what they do.The club owners do not seem to be worried about the salaries they earn,so why should we?What many of the fans do not realize is that football is the palyers jobs and not fun play.Football generates lots of revenue and so the footballers deserve their huge payments.

4.Football pundits

Pundits are experts in a particular field who are mostly called upon to give a comment in media.In football,pundits form an integral part.They are paid to comment on players perfomances,attitude and work rates.Although sometimes their opinions seem rather harsh,they are meant to encourage the player concerned to work harder.However,sometimes things get heated between a player and a pundit turning it into a personal battle.But all in all everyone is doing his job.

5.Famous football quotes

Football,like any other sport is associated with many quotes.Below is the list for my top five football quotes;

• “Some people think football is a matter of life and death.I don’t like that attitude.I can assure them it is much more serious than that.”-Bill Shankly
• “I eat football.I sleep football.I breathe football.I’m not mad.I’m just passionate.”-Thierry Henry
• “In football as in watchmaking,talent and elegance mean nothing without rigour and precision.”-Lionel Messi
• “Don’t practice until you get it right.Practice until you can’t get it wrong.”-Christiano Ronaldo
• “Football is simple,but the hardest thing to do is play simple football.”-Johan Cruyff

6.The GOAT debate
This is the best era for any football fan.Watching professional football being dominated by two players is not easy but it is what it is.Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been running a two-man show for over a decade.Many debates have gone on and on without an end about the GOAT(Greatest Of All Time) amongst them.As a fan,i must also make my choice.I am a Ronaldo fan because of my great admiration for hardwork rather than just talent.I respect Messi as it is always a nightmare having him as an opponent but i believe Cristiano is a better role model to the future generation.But i hope that one day we won’t have to choose between them but rather appreciate them both for their contribution to football.

That brings an end to my football topic.Please do not forget to leave a comment.
