I'm crazy about ball games, and my favorite is football, the most popular sport in the world. This is a very addictive, filled with enthusiasm, game. It was born in England, although the ancient Egyptians and the Mayans played something similar. Football is a hobby of millions of people, and world competitions attract the attention of the whole planet. Professional football became a role model for many children and adults, such as Diego Maradona, Paolo Maldini, Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Andrey Arshavin, Andriy Shevchenko. Football makes players hardy, accurate, fast and smart. The season lasts from early spring to late autumn, so the players are very strong and healthy people, as a lot of training in the fresh air. Football develops a sense of elbow and organization, because it is a team game. And most of all I am attracted to the incomparable football excitement!
