Football is regarded as the best sport in the world, at some point in our lives we’ve participated in the sport. As a football fanatic, I have the picture of Robin Van Persie hung up on my wall, and each time I look at his picture I realize life isn’t bad at all. I was a very big fan of Robin Van Persie.
Football is perhaps the most popular sport in the world. Almost all the progressive countries plays football. The game makes the players healthy and disciplined and develop in their mind a team spirit and sense of tolerance. Football game is played for ninety minutes with a break of fifteen minutes in the middle of the game.
It is played between two teams each having eleven players. The game is played by kicking the ball, and trying to send it between the goalposts of the opponent team. There is a goalkeeper on each side to resist the ball from getting into the goal post. The goal-keeper is allowed to touch the ball by hand, while others are not. The team, which scores more goals, is declared the winner. The referee conducts the game with the help of two linesmen, one on each side of the field. A player is warned for committing fouls or hand-balls and may also be issued a card if necessary, and as a measure, a free kick is awarded to the suffered team.
I took a walk on a Sunday morning and to my surprise I saw a group of young people playing football on the Bariga-New garage express road. This people had the courage to play their favorite sport on the road regardless of the cars and buses that are making use of the road. I stood by watching them play, and I took pictures and videos of them. Passers-by watched with joy and cheered them as they played, it was simply beautiful. Some might say this is madness, is it?
Football to me is more than just a game, it excites our emotions, we live and breathe football every day, 24/7. We even call ourselves by the names of our favourite players.
The most popular tournament is the UEFA champions league which involves the top European teams contesting for the title and it is played annually. The most successful team in this competition is Real Madrid having won the trophy nine times. What makes this tournament so exiting and popular is that you see the best players all over the world play against each other. The defending champion is Bayern Munich.
A world Cup tournament is played every four years in different countries of the world by turn. Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal and Lionel Messi of Argentina are arguably the most famous footballers today in history. The next FIFA world cup is scheduled to take place in Brazil next year from 12 June to 13 July 2014. Spain is the defending champion having defeated Netherlands 1-0 is the South Africa 2010 FIFA world cup final.
Here’s my list for the top ten teams to watch out for in the 2014 world cup:
1. Germany
2. Brazil
3. Spain
4. Netherland
5. Uruguay
6. Argentina
7. Italy
