What I Like Doing Best:
The best hobby that I ever get acquainted with is the eternal love for soccer. The beautiful game played by 1o men by their foot and one person with the use of his all his body parts. Although my achievement for the game as a player remains an unsatisfactory part of my life but I love everything about it. I love watching the game live and especially the “UEFA Champions league” which comprises of the all the league champions of the countries in Europe. I feel it is better than the world football cup in a sense that the players in the clubs are chosen according to their talents and skills rather than their nationality in the national team. Whatever the case, the game is beautiful no matter where it is played and no matter how it is played. The dribbling, the 20 people chasing for one ball and the moment of victory and happiness and loss and despair when the goals are scored is all the part of the game. That is why the advertising line of all products related to the game is ‘It’s all in the game’ because it may mean nothing to you if you don’t love football but Scottish player Bill Shankly said “Football is not the matter of life and death, it is more than that” in the appreciation of the game. Yes, that is what it is for the football lovers. There is even a rumor among the football fanatics that the war between the two countries was stopped for a night because the soldiers wanted to see the game of world cup when ‘Pele’ was playing after the Second World War. The game has the capacity to spread fraternity and love throughout the people of the world. The oldest game in the history has evolved to the game of investment and playground for the money, the game has become one of the expensive games indeed. The game has seen its ups and downs and has produced the legends in the world history of football like Maradona, Pele, George Best, Michael Platini, Franz Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo etc. The game has evolved with time and has become more competitive than ever. It is surprising that the magical game has been attracting the Americans these days. It is not so much winning the women’s football tournament two years consecutively in Olympics will go in vain but the choices of football superstars like David Beckham and Thierry Henry to play in the MLS cup has indeed affected them. The constant entry of US national team in the world cup and advancing past the group stages in 2010 has indeed shown the signs of development of the game in this part of the world as well. Let’s hope it will be more popular than the American ‘Football’, Basketball and Rugby.
