The World Cup is on, most of us know that it is. Right the Soccer World Cup, the game that Indians hardly play. Although there are passionate souls in India who have hots for this sport. There are some who are real soccer fans, some sports fan who just watch it as any other sport and some who watch it for money - yes the media.
But I, watch it for the competition, in the end its all about numbers, its all about finishes, its all about fulfilled goals; but what lies behind is an incomprehensible passion of the souls who measure lengths of large stadiums just to be able to fulfill the goal. By goal I don't mean the ball put in a net, but the pride of the team for which a player play's for. It is a delight to watch when there are players with skills who just magnetize the ball to their bodies, the ones with speed who are ahead of the remaining, there are ones with resistance who act as a dam to the stream of attackers, there are ones with agility who just jump in without caring
about their injuries just to reach for their precious - the football and then there are ones who test the other's patience by their foul play. Trust me I guess foul play is part of the game, as I told you it is all to play for on the field. Interestingly players also have to play over the referee's mind so that the foul play continues.
Actually, the football wouldn't be anywhere without the foul play. We enjoy when there is a challenging tackle, if it gets fouled, then we enjoy the booking too; now if it doesn't get caught we enjoy the frustration of the side losing out and the test of their patience. So its always a mind game which is involved in this rough and atheletic sport.
In the end the players do enjoy playing it, it is a sight to watch, it is a dream to many and just another thing on TV right now, yes the Cup is on - so watch it.
