There are several people who are debating about the most popular game in the world. Many people may argue that American football or basketball is the most popular one. But those who are doing arguments on those will be highly opposed by football lovers. World football is a global game that can connect almost every single person throughout the planet. One more interesting fact about this game is The FIFA World Cup is the world's most widely viewed sports event. Around 715 million people watched the 2006 final match in Germany, while the 2010 South Africa event was broadcasted to 204 countries on 245 different channels.
Here, we are presenting the top 10 reasons to consider the Football game as the best sport in the world:
Easy to Play: You need friends, a ball, and some space. The rules are very simple too (unless you are playing professional football), you just need to get the ball inside the opponent’s goal without using your hands, and that’s it. Minimal requirements mean that you can start a game anywhere, at any time.
It is the most played game in the world: We all can see that almost every country in the world plays football whether it is Asia, Europe, South America, North America, Africa, Australia or any other, you will see 11 players kick the ball around against another group of 11 players towards goal. Even football lovers and fans can also enjoy the football game and understand the match from any corner of the world. It is that much easy to understand the game.
Passion Surrounding the Game: It does not matter where you are watching the game; one thing that will never change is the passion that everyone around the game contains for football. Regardless of which part of the world, you are in; the passion for sports will remain the same. The same passion that is seen at the stadium can also be seen in homes across the world on the pitch during the match day. Every major stadium across the world is packed in each weekend during the football game where the fans are supporting their club and players which does not happen for other sports in the world.
No Age Limit: Most of the primary professional sports require their athletes to be a certain age to play. Like, for NFL, has a policy that the players need to be three years out of high school before entering the NFL draft. In another case like in NBA, a player must have one year passed after high school can enter the sport.
But, in world football, there are no age requirements for the players. Once any club thinks that the player is ready to play, they will add that player to the pitch. There are lots of players who already win the heart of the football lovers at a young age in their debut game and later one transfer into a well-known football player.
Promotion: Promotion to the top flight means everything to a club. Even if a club is staying in a top European league like the EPL or La Liga for just one season, the financial gains will always help the promoted club. Promotion with the name of any club makes them in the top table so that people can know more about them and see the football game.
Pitch Invasions and Celebrations: Whenever any club wins a crucial game, their fans celebrated the pitch with its players which encourages the players and makes them happy to give a good performance for the next game as well.
Exercises to Train Speed Agility in Football
Speed and agility are two very important qualities for any athlete, especially if we talk about football. Both qualities are different but closely related. Speed can make you leave defenders behind or reach faster forwards. Agility makes you dodge defenders' limbs more easily to score a goal or get the ball if you are the goalkeeper.
