Exaggerating, really? I can't believe I was given this opportunity.
Now, I know this is a contest, organized by liuke96player, but believe you me, every single word or piece I am going to put down here is for the glory of the aforementioned sport and to tell you of how unfathomable, the reason I am madly in love with the sport.
I am going to put down few soccer quotes and a brief bio of their quoter before I get down to my own details, these quotes sum up everything I intend writing here and everything you need to know about the scintillating sport called soccer.
"I am not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well. More important than that, I feel an endless need to learn, to evolve, to improve, not only to satisfy the coach and the fans but to be satisfied with myself". CRISTIANO RONALDO(five times world best player and a living legend of soccer).
"I learnt all about my life with a ball at my feet". RONALDINHO (Two times Fifa world player of the year, and considered one of the most entertaining footballer to ever play the sport.)
"The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning". PELE (Considered the greatest player of all time.)
"You have to fight to reach your dream, you have to work hard for it" LIONEL MESSI (Five times world best player and a living legend of the sport.
"And one beautiful day, the goddess of the wind kisses the foot of man, that mistreated, scorned foot, and from that kiss the soccer idol is is born. He is born in a straw crib in a tin-roofed shack and he enters the world clinging to a ball." EDUARDO GALEANO (Uruguayan journalist/novelist with so much love for soccer.)
What a beautiful way to end the quotes, I could go on and on, the list of wonderful quotes by footballers and non-footballers are numerous. I do not know of other sports but I have tried some other sports, the kind of passion, the kind of invigorating mood I find myself in when it comes to soccer is inexplicable.
There is a reason soccer is considered the most popular sport, almost half the population of the world or more are soccer lovers, roughly an estimate of over 4 billion people follow soccer worldwide. The shouts, the joy, the passion, the cry, the feelings are just irreplaceable.
Soccer is not just all about passion or feelings, it has done far more good to the world at large than we can imagine. Soccer unites people, I could remember fighting always with a childhood friend of mine back in the days, we always had bad feelings about each other probably because, I do some things better than him and he does some better than me. We get compliments after appraisals on a particular subject and watch the other wallow in envy. But, on this fateful day, our team were playing a final, (Yes we were fans of the same team. Weird, innit? Hahah) we saw ourselves leaping in joy together, painting the whole compound with the name of our football club(Real Madrid). We watched that match together, shouted together, agonized together and rejoiced together. Our team ended up winning that match and from that day onwards, we became the closest friends ever lived, that is the power of soccer. I can go a whole day without food and a ball at my feet, that is how sweet the joy of soccer is.
If you wanna be happy, think soccer.
If you wanna be passionate, play soccer.
If you wanna be thoughtful, hard-working and skillful, dream soccer.
If you end up feeling great, blame soccer.
