It's the world's most popular sports.
The most popular sports in 128 countries around the world.
22 men chasing a ball on a 120yd by 80yd pitch.
Yes. That is football.
And this is my very first post on football after 34 entries...

I will like to kick-off with this well known cliche:
"Football is a gentleman's game played by thugs while rugby is a thugs' game played by gentleman."
Certainly true.
Cos' the moment you step onto the pitch, you are in a battlefield.
And by all means, you are going to win it - unless of course kelong la! (Discuss more about kelong next time - too abstract.)
Off the pitch, we will not have any shortfall of actions and drama.
Cos' football is anything under the sun.
We have sex scandals, corruptions, racial discriminations, riots, dressing room brawls, match-fixing, football bettings and any other things you can imagine.

Filthy, dirty and ugly, yet beautiful.
It is the art of football...

Recall~
The very first football match that i watched was the 1996 FA Cup final between Liverpool and Manchester United.
I remembered that match for my whole life!
Cos' after that match, i am a Liverpool fan!

Yes. "You'll never walk alone."

As of now i am a fan of Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Germany!
and i fancy Chelsea and Newcastle.

If you were to ask me which was the most memorable match that i had ever watched...
it's definitely this one in 1999...! Classic!

"Wa that's really the most cruel way to lose!
And the most Tai Ko way to win!
Sibei Buay Tahan la...nabei like that also can...他妈的！
You see Samuel Kuffour dua buay tahan until he kneel down and cry la...
Lothar Matthaus diam diam chui tak lan lo...
I will remember 1999 Champions League Final in Nou Camp forever!"

This is what soccer is all about...
Love it, hate it, swear and curse...

It's a wonder how much a simple ball can bring to our life...

"Let our feets do the talking!"
