Association football

Association football is a very interesting game. This entails an activity of using your body except the hands to skillfully maneuver and play with the ball against an opponent team. A football team is usually made up of 11players of which 10 play at the field whereas one stays at the goal post to guard against being scored. I find football to be so much interesting match because it utilizes talents and skills to score against an opponent team. (Andersson & Schmidt, 2009)

I used not to like football and despised it as a complete waste of time. I used not to understand how grownups could be following a ball in a court for close to one and a half hours just competing to score. I also used to laugh at those who watched football and called them freaks who didn’t learn to use their time well. However, one day I was invited by a close friend to watch a match and had a different experience. I found the rules very interesting and fascinating to follow up to date. I was immensely fascinated by the fact that a player could dribble and score against another team so skillfully. Besides, I came to find this game to be very interesting after noticing that people aren’t allowed to hurt each other but be careful as they exploit their talent.

In conclusion, I came to love football after learning more about its rules, styles, and levels of playing such as penalties, red and yellow cards, offsides, and many more. I also came to appreciate the people who play and watch football all over the world. I also learned that football is one of the most valued and popular games in the world that people have invested both time and resources. (Sarkar, 2018)
