Recently people have been saying that Life topics have been overflowed with football topics, but I think this is mainly due to the fact that football *is* life to alot of people.
OK, so maybe football isn’t the only part of life, but it’s a whole way of life.
Reasons I enjoy Football:
1. I like playing it
2. I like watching it
3. I like talking about it
4. Did I say I like it?
I like playing it....
I play football regularly, both competitively and just for fun. Whether it’s from a Cup Final to kicking a ball around with my mates I enjoy it. The main thing is the fact that at the same time as playing football you’re socialising, making friends and having a laugh. The worst thing for me about playing football is the fact that I have to get up at 9 or 10 in the morning to get to the match. Me being a 12/1pm waker it’s quite a struggle getting up at these times!
When I’m on the field I get an adrenaline rush, which is an unexplainable feeling, but you’ll know what I’m talking about if you play competitively. The past few seasons I’ve played central midfield but this season I've been put into the Left-back position.... Left-back is bad enough when you’re left-footed... I’m right footed!
Anyway, I don’t really get the same opportunity to score now, which I have to say was the biggest buzz for me out of the game, but now instead I’ve found a new joy within the game, a sliding tackle! These babies can do some damage if you time them just right and a successful one is as good as scoring a goal.
Basically I love playing football, not for the winning, but for the fun of playing with mates. But winning doesn’t half help!
I like watching it....
“Tottenham, Tottenham are the greatest team the World has ever seen!”
“Come on you whites!”
As you may or may not have realised I’m an avid Tottenham fan. Maybe they’re not the best team in the world, but I've always supported them and love watching them. Now its not just Tottenham that I like to observe it can be any team playing and Ill sit there watching eagerly.
Viewing football also means I can learn from the players I see. Whether its Harry Kewell attempting a wondrous trick or David Beckham with one of his infamous free-kicks, ill be attempting them at training and with my mates, trying to impress.
As we all know thhe World Cup is approaching and Im definitely going to be watching England play, whether it means getting up at 5am, or missing a day of college (oh no!) The buzz that we all get during a big tournament like this is great, and what’s nice is it seems to bring us all together.
I like talking about it....
There’s so much happening in football these days that there’s so much to talk about. Transfer speculation, Great Goals, Hooliganism and more runs the lips of many football fans around the world. With the media becoming more and more involved with the game, we the public hear about things inside football that we would never before now of known.
I probably spend a lot of time discussing football whether it’s with my mates at college or on these very forums. We all enjoy talking about our “favourite” team and how many points they’re going to win the league by (Tottenham are going to win the league by 7 points by the way). We also all have different views about football and its great to share opinions and discuss various issues that we may not have thought of up till now.
Football almost seems to have its own language that all of us football fans can speak. This is a great thing because even with people you’ve never met before you can talk about football and they will know what you’re talking about, well hopefully anyway!
Did I say I like it?....
You’ve probably realised by now that I’m a bit of a football fanatic, I love to talk, play, eat, and sleep football!
In my opinion it’s the greatest sport ever imagined, well except tiddlywinks of course....

I used to play football all the time! As soon as I got home from school, all weekend, any time it wasn't raining or snowing! But since I moved house i've only really been able to play it at school. Everyone near me now's at least 5 years younger so I don't bother. I hate moving house, it was perfect before!
I play everyday at my local stro-turf pitches, they put the lights on for us n'all. And dav1d?, I don't think it's "football is life", more like "life is football" for me
well in my life football plays a very important role and so it is a huge part in my life. unfortunately i am not able to play very often :( but luckily there are still the professional football leagues i am so much into. in the summer i nearly cannot bear it when there is such a long time WITHOUT any football and so i am very delighted when there are competitions such as the world cup this year! besides it is interesting to watch the leagues of foreign contries for example real madrid's development or the italian championship - the great struggle between chievo, juce, lazio, as, ac and inter for example. and well, i am really really fond of the german bundesliga, cause germany is the contry i'm born in. my fav team might perform very badly this season, but this is no reasonl to turn away at all . for 10 years i have been their fan and i will be their fan for eternity ;) furthermore the atmosphere in the stadium is so amazing: it starts when entering the stadium and watching the pitch below, listening to the boxes and celebrating the team when it lines up and then... the goal- what a feeling ;) i think everybody who has ever been to stadium knows what i am talking about and writing these sentences i get aware of that the winter pause in germany has to come to an end soon... still 8 days to go!!!! come on 1.FC Köln and come on liverpool :)
A few years ago my life was getting like fever pitch (without the girlfriend, the regular games, the arsenal boxer shorts......)
recently I have been seeing 3rd division southend united when I'm in the country, I unfortunately missed their 3rd round fa cup tie against tranmere because they resceduled it for a few days after my flight back to uni.
We have found that we can watch premiership games at a sports bar at 10am on saturdays (even though a heavy night of party makes getting up difficult)
My friend also downloads game highlights from the net (he gets the spurs ones for free and the sunderland ones, but subscribes for the arsenal ones).
in summary what would I do without football?
