I love the game of soccer or football.
A little fun tidbit of info about the name game.
The United States and Canada refer to the sport as soccer, as not to confuse the sport with the other sport of football prevalent in the countries.
The American Football Association thus changed its name to the U.S. Soccer Football federation in 1945 and eventually in 1974 to the U.S. Soccer Federation.
No worries, the whole world knows about this play on words, none the less it has not become a distraction to the game, unless you find yourself living in the US for a bit and then going home to Europe and accidentally referring to the game as soccer, well that is another story all together.
(A word to the wise, try not to make that mistake!)
The game of soccer(football) is magnificent to watch. It is a game of skill and art. The combination of immaculately fit masculine, close to perfection bodies as well as the skill to brilliantly maneuver a leather, 28 inch, 16 oz, pressure equal to 0.6 – 1.1 (how precise) ball across a grass field while 9 other set of legs quickly and assertively manipulate that same ball to their advantage is a sight to see.
That last minute crossing pass that seems to slow down time as it soars from the sidelines, down the middle to the perfect chip shot that floats over the goalkeeper’s head and just makes it swiftly under the crossbar to score the winning goal.
The game of football (soccer) is an artistic endeavor and may I add, a sexy game as well. I know I know it is a game of skill, a sport, but a girl has a right to enjoy the view as well, correct?! I mean let’s not fool ourselves that men solely go to the pool or the beach to enjoy the water; the girls in bikinis are a major draw as well. Therefore, I must sometimes succumb to watching a sport, not merely, for the sportsmanship and skill involved, but for the eye candy as well.
When that tone, fit to perfection player immaculately and skillfully maneuvers a chest trap, I must sigh at the chest muscles rippling underneath the snug jersey, while the hamstring and quadricep muscles peak from underneath those fantastic billowing shorts.
I believe this calls for some delightful visions.
A plethora of good-looking and superbly talented football (soccer) players and a few celebrities who are even more superb in soccer attire.
