Football

well,i watched football since i was 8. 1998 world cup in France.i remembered when i was small,when dad wana watch football,then every family members "runaway".haha.then when world cup 98,my dad watched football till he was tired.that match was between Denmark vs dunno who.he wanted to sleep,so he asked me to help him watch for the last 10mins.i reluctantly watched that "boring" football match.to my surprise,Denmark score in 87th min.i shouted and waked my dad up.it was my 1st football match.i started to watch football since then.there were so many unknown countries,through newspaper,i saw France won thier 1st 2 match 3-0 and 4-0.i told my dad i wan support France.then dad said France was an average team(that time).but they actually went on to win that year's world cup,surprisingly.i spoted a lanky,speedy attacker,Thierry Henry,who became my idol in the end.since then,i addicted to football.

Watching EPL every saturday become a must for me.just when i almost forgot my 1st love Henry,he came to Arsenal.which i actually supported them because of their nice Highbury Stadium.haha.wat a coincidence.fate maybe.everyone who knows me knew that i supported Arsenal and Theirry Henry.last time,i used to get scolded from my dad because i supported a different team from my family.my dad always say family should stay united(my family support MU).

i had a strong feeling on football,i think it brings lotsa knowledge to me.through football,i know almost all european countries and their capital city,sometimes by just looking at footballer's name,i can guess they come from which country.below examples are my mosr proudable knowledge.

1.Did u all know those surname got MC are originated from scotland.such as McCulloch,McCann.(which means that McDonald also originated from Scotland)
2.have you heard of Yugoslavia?it was a big country last time,but since then it seperates into many smaller country such as croatia,serbia,montenegro,slovenia.and all people originated from Yugoslavia wil have the back of their surname ended with ic.such as stankovIC,zigIC,stojakovIc
3.Italy has most handsome football player ever since 1998.(gals,check it out)
4.United kingdom made up of England,Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland.Ireland has NEVER been in United Kingdom.
5.Brazil speaks Portugese,not spainish.

its boring i guess.but seriously without football,without ziLi today.when i was standard 6,got my friend's dad every saturday night called me and asked which team i predicted wil win.after 4 years of watching football,my football knowledge was even better than my dad.its useless though according to dad,he said if i can remember my studies so well then better,hey,i got A1 for my sejarah in SPM.hahahahah.

actually football reflects our real life also.Arsenal,even since last time till now,always control the whole match,but they couldn't score to kill the game.in the end,they even find themselves in the losing side.those have been follow football closely will notice this.always 25shots vs 2/3 shots,then the team with 2 or 3 shots in whole match win.the most painful match wil be FA cup final vs Liverpool.arsenal keep on attack,in ard 60-75th mins,they finally score through Ljungberb.but in the end?they lost again.liverpool score twice in final 6 mins.i cried badly,1st time i creid because of football.guess how pain i was,arsenal lost the cup in fianl 6mins.but in reality,thats the truth.who will ever remember that arsernal controlled the whole game.who will remember that arsenal denied 2 obvious penalty?no one!!they wil jus remember that Michael Owen scored 2 fanstastic.thats human,people will only remember the end.nobody will ever remember the process.who cares if you put in so much efforts in something?they will only remember if you success anot.who will remember if you really some really that close of getting something then let it fade away?again,the answer is no one.

in one football match,people will only remember the goal scorer or sometimes the assister.who will remember the player that works hard,run here and there?again,no one.people will only remember goalkeeper that saved penalty.who will ever remember those great save?seldom though.for some girls(i mean some).only see the handsome player.for newspaper,only great team will get attention.what about smaller team?
