Sweat,Determination,Perseverence

Imagine yourself standing in front of about 80,000 people and having to perform.Imagine yourself being paid 50,000pounds per week to do something you like to do since you were young.Imagine your picture and name constantly being mentioned in a column in the newspaper.

That's the life of a football player.

Some people might ask,what's so nice about football that drives guys crazy about staying up til 2-3am in the morning just to watch a live match??This question is like asking,why did you buy a ticket to go watch a match?It's that feeling of being able to be there when it happens no matter what timezone you're in.

Watching worldclass players performing their magic to thrill and excite their fans from all corners of the globe.Legs shifting from side to side whilst maintaining the football within control of the player.Opponents being dazed by the trickery of light-footed players.Players sliding all over the pitch just to snatch the football out of their opponent's grasp.Watching football's finest as they run through 2 opponents and score a powerful effort.Seeing amazing shots unleashed from 25 yards to baffle and stun worldclass goalkeepers.The great saves and dives to deny some of the best goal-poachers of our century.Watching players with great amount of determination and stamina race down a 120 yard field for 45 minutes non stop to bring his team glory and fame.Gasp at the accuracy of a simple lob or a long range effort.Feel the control as the player keeps the ball off the ground with his feet while still in motion.Seeing these players using their head for more than one purpose.

Unbelievable?? Believe it..

That's football to the uninitiated.

And football doesn't only attract the masculine gender.Lots and lots of females are also into football nowadays.Some endulge in it for the good-looking or muscular players.Others enjoy the game as much as their male counterparts.Football is one of the sports which unites the world.Anyone in any country can support the same team regardless of ethnicity and language.

And I now present to you a short clip of some of football's finest moves..
