why do you love soccer?

Question

i know why i do.....

Answer 1

Yeah! I love football too!
In Italy it's the first - and often the only - team sport you play. Of course, Italians are one-minded about football, but playing it is easier than any other. All you need is a ball a place (indoor as children room, house corridors, docks, school classroom - or outdoor as public parks, streets, places and squares, courtyards, backyards) made by any kind of soil (grass, mud, sand, stones). Sides can be naturally defined (walls, grass limit) as well as enterely undefined. Soil can be regular or highly irregular (the most common issues are hills and sloping). Wheater isn't concerning. It could range from heavy heat to extreme cold. When child you must leave the field if it's raining...
Indoor posts are easily spotted. In outdoor free areas trees, branches, stones, clothes, schoolbags and trash (bottles, glasses, sleeve and heart piles), are well fitted to act as posts, but now you are facing the first real troubles:
THE POSTS SIZE and THE CROSSBAR.
Often Italian are blamed because their fair-play attitude isn't so developed. I guess this issue become from those troubles.
To solve them, let's explain the line-up before.
Basical rules are:
1. Playing football by 2 players isn't real football, only training.
2. 3 players follow the rule "who score become the goalie", but it isn't a real match
3. A match happens only when 4 or more player join the game. The 2 best players are the captains, and a toss is needed to start choosing. Who win the toss choose first the second player in his line-up and so on. If players are in odd number, line-ups could be rearranged to have a balanced match. Of course, be the last choose is the actual nightmare to Italian children. Last chosen usually are slow overweighted ones as well as younger players.
Amazingly, there are no limits in players number, so a children match often has too many player in a small area.
Now let's face posts and crossbar menaces.
Usually goalies start measuring posts size doing 7 steps. Of course, the very first steps are too little and size is ridicolous. After a short debate, both captains will define a better measurement. At their first chance, goalies rearrange the posts to a smaller size. But their chances to be not spotted in a 20x20 meters area filled with 40 players are not so high, and the first argument starts. Believe me, I don't like what Materazzi did, but needs to say BEFORE an Italian children match starts lots of harsh words are raining yet.
The crossbar is an imaginary line obtained by the goalkeeper arm hold on, adding a little jump. A phantom is a more real item.
In the early part of the match, every "high ball" scored is usually denied. In the later part, especially in a balaced match, sportsmanship fades quickly and an "high ball" call often ends in a fight. There isn't any referee. Children are creative, not mad.
Now, some words on tactics.
Basic tactic is "defender isn't a role, it's a blame". Worst players are unallowed to pass midfield, they must stay in the box, trying to stop more skilled forwards in any way. Their lack of skills forces them to bloody fouls, sturdy blocks, and all this stuff. There's a bit of revenging attitude against more gifted players. Medium skilled players are worthy the midfield Purgatory. Here the usual play is to have a mad bunch of 5-10 players fighting for the ball. Only the more willing and skilled could came out from this fight and try an attack play, and they have a chance denied to defenders. Gifted ones are forwards and the best are captains. They are so highly skilled in physio and technical to try runs from box to box if the match actually needs. They are able to hit the ball with their head without being injured. Goalkeeper is a state of mind instead a role. They haven't any training or skill in saving, their only issue is bravery. The usual save is running in front of the opponent forward and block the ball hearted. Saving by side jump is a unforgettable event to a goalie.
Tactics are:
Forward try to score at any slight opportunity.
Midfielder have to struggle.
Defenders have to stop forward in any way they know.
This is the football I like - in a certain way it's the football I'm actually playing with my bunch of friends. On Sunday, far from the city, after trying to recover from exaggerate eating and drinking, whe challenge everyone is on the spot, besides age and fitness. We maybe the worst football team in Western Europe, due to aging, lack of skills, bad habits as smoke, lack of fitness, overweight, untrained. Our line-up change from 4 to 8-9 players. I'm so out of fitness to be forced to swith between my role (right defensive midfielder) and goalkeeper to recover. Of course, we have an amazing willingness and team spirit, and won our last match on June against more skilled and younger players. It happens so rarely - as winning WC ;-))))))
Yes. I LOVE FOOTBALL

Answer 2

Well I've been playing soccer for the past twelve years and i've always loved the sport, but always when the world cup comes around I have to say my passion for the sport becomes even larger! As for what teams are my favorite, I ABSOLUTELY love Bayern Munich, my grandmother is from a town two hours away from Munich, and I've always been interested in the team. Among other teams I love are Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Juventus, FC Barcelona, Inter,Werder Bremen. Players would have to be Philipp Lahm, Lukas Podolski, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Christoph Metzelder, Oliver Kahn, Michael Ballack, Miroslav Klose, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Figo, Roy Makaay, Wayne Rooney, Thierry Henry, Patrick Viera, Nuno Gnomes and many more!!! My favorite national team would have to be GERMANY! As I already said my grandmother is from there and that is who I always have watched, the 2006 world cup team, though, has got to be my favorite combination of player to date, so far! !!!!!!!GLUCK SPIEL DUTSCHLAND!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Samba, Tango, and Total Football are words that come to mind. People call it "The Beautiul Game" for a reason, because nothing else is like it. Yes, theres rugby, and american football, and basketball, and baseball, and hockey, and cricket, and even tennis and golf and car racing (although I am not sure why), but the fact is that 1.1 Billion people watched the 02 final. Anyway, thats not really answering your question. I love to play it because its fun and entertaining and beautiful, I love to watch it and study it because you learn things, and its still beautiful. And, should I ever "lose my faith" (the last final sure...well, it wasnt pretty), all I need to do is watch Brazil beat Italy 4-1 in the 1970 final...which in my opinion is the greatest game a single team can play. Joga Bonita.

Answer 4

Because I was born in a country where you start playing as a toddler until you can't move anymore. And almost every day of your life. But I am sure that if I was born in Canada, my favorite sport would be hockey and if i was born in a Scandinavian country, my favorite sport would be a winter sport.
