The Two Reasons Why I’m Beginning To Like Football

EURO 2008 is just around the corner so I’m beginning to catch the fever.

I was never a big fan of football even when Manchester United won the trebles back in 1998-99 season. I was only beginning to like football when Brazil won the World Cup.

I love sports and I’m quite an active guy despite my size. The fact that I’m a ‘Kaki Bangku‘ didn’t stop me from engaging in other sports such as Basketball and Volleyball, which I played a lot during school days. I still play basketball socially twice a week with a group of working adults.

I do have my own reasons why I love these sports. Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls was the reason why I love basketball. My 3rd brother Edmond was the reason why I played volleyball back in school days. We continued the tradition of being the district school champions.

As for football, it was none other than the 2 R’s, RONALDINHO and Cristiano RONALDO even though I believe a lot others can be a better examples.

Well, it doesn’t matter to me. I like watching them in action. Playing football as a team and winning a game is important, everyone knows that. But watching these 2 individuals PLAYING FOOTBALL with style, it’s something to remember. Yes, there are plenty more better players out there who can kick a football and score goals, but where’s the fun to it?

They reminds me of legendary players like Pele with his bicycle kick, Maradona with his winning dribbling skills and perhaps David Beckham with his ‘banana’ kick.

It’s as entertaining to watch Ronaldinho and Cristiano Ronaldo on the field and I have my reasons why. Watch this clip and you may agree with me.

    Strange.

    Usually girls will go for RONALDO instead. Marg, can you tell between Ronaldo and Ronaldinho??
