Football Crazy, Football Mad

Football crazy.

football mad,

Never ceases to

amazing me,

all this crap!

Got to,  excuse me!

As I'm,  not a football

fan!

All I see is a bunch of guys

or even ladies

kicking a ball

around a pitch

for 90 minutes.

And it is not my cup

of tea!

The joy

the sorry

the bittersweet

twist

at the end

of getting beat!

when you thought

you had just won.

Outwith,

 a few spare minutes

they all had

being

used up at the end

and then

beaten your team.

Oh lordy,  lordy,

so many drunk men

and woman

will be out and about

getting drunk tonight

celebrate

or even commiserating.

Depending

on the

team you

supported.

So many flags flying

and so many patriot banners

are high in the sky.

Oh, what fun and

jubilation.

As well as heartache

caused by

kicking a ball

around

a stadium

Oh, what it can do!

To some poor

souls.

The millions some of these

players earn

could feed a country

or two.  Let alone pay for

a health care system in

some foreign land.

Nutty and crazy this!

What a simple game,

can make people

pay over the odds for

a guy to kick a daft football!

Each to the own pleasures.

  I say!

It seems to give everyone

who watches and plays

this game.

A sense of camaraderie

sportsmanship and enjoyment

and you can not take that

away from anyone.

Not even I.

It seems the most popular game in the world has its ups and downs. It seems people's priorities are in the wrong place. I guess teams become nationalist projection of success and failure. As long as it is a peaceful game , good entertainment, mucho money generated, I don't mind. Sportsmanship can be very good.

[Onlyme]

Thanks, Sami. I agree on the sportmanship can be good.

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome.

Some people really have a passion for something, some may scream it louder than others but at the end of the day, that fandom just has a different set of rules that may clash with others. With that said... go Ravens!

[Onlyme]

Thanks, for your insightful review. splattercore.

WELL DONE ENGLAND!

They were brilliant tonight, i think Colombia thought it was a rugby game judging by all the dirty tackles lol

[Onlyme]

I must admit Stella. They looked like they where playing dirty. And the ref. Was allowing them to get away with things. My man was telling me. My man was doing a happy dance. Had to laugh. lol

[Stella Armour]

i was sitting here all on my own shouting at them not to retaliate.... it was a hard game, they deserved to win :)

[Onlyme]

I must admit. I got to say so myself. They deserved it. Even thou, I am not into football.

[Stella Armour]
