This is going to be my first post as a blog writer, it is very exciting indeed. And fittingly it is going to be about why i am so passionate about football, what fueled this addiction which i must say i'm very proud of.
The first time i sat down and watched a football match was during the 2002 fifa world cup which was held in south korea and japan. i remember watching the pre-match shows, which had baichung bhutia as one of the experts and i wondered who the hell is this guy( i know! i was stupid).Being an indian, all your exposed to is cricket, cricket and some more cricket. people around you talk about it, so do the media. at a point of time i thought cricket must be like the best sport in the world, well how wrong of me.
Getting back to the world cup, its one of the biggest spectacles in the world, and i was very fascinated by it. so i sat and watched as many matches as i could and i loved every bit of it. whenever i watch any sport i always support one team, i can never be neutral. so i supported brazil(can you blame me?) and they won the world cup beating germany 2-0 in the final and from there started what my mum likes to call my football "addiction"
I would catch a game here and there, play football with my friends which only increased my love for the game, i mean whats there not to like about football. i started watching the english premier league, and dont think i can ever stop. I have expanded my viewing to the la liga(spain), the bundesliga(germany), serie a(italy), dutch league and scottish at times too. so i do have a fair amount of knowledge on the sport by now.
This is how i was exposed to football, and the reason i'm so in love with it is that football never seizes to amaze you, it can never be boring. its only 90 minutes(that is as long as one innings in a t20 game), and the passion that the fans bring with it is contagious and spreads rapidly and all of a sudden u just cant get enough of it!
But in simple terms football is the "beautiful" game and no one can take that away!
With all this passion i have for the game, i will be writing about the all the latest happenings in football and would love to hear any suggestions u may have to help me improve my writing or the blog.
