One might wonder why I’ve chosen such a strange topic to start off with. As most of my friends would say I’m damn crazy about football. You could spot me watching some match or the other day in and day out or playing FIFA. So what is it that makes football so fascinating or what it is that has made me fall in love with this sport (should have fallen in love with a girl at this age :P).
It all started when I was eleven (am not a prodigy to start playing at that tender age), just flipping the channels on my idiot box when I stopped on ESPN. Hey this is something new, two teams fighting for a ball!? Goodness gracious me, Why can’t each one be given a ball and allowed to play (remember I was eleven……).
That’s when I asked my dad what game this is. He said “Son, this is football”.
I wondered why on earth is one player allowed to use his hands while others abide by the rules and play with their legs! What a bloody game, harsh tackles, referee flaying cards of different colors (sport or war!). But something told me this would go a long way in bringing out a hidden talent in me. That’s when I started watching English Premier League (EPL), now called Barclays Premier League and any guesses about my favourite team?
Nine out of ten would support the mighty red devils, Manchester United!!!~~
