Today, football is the most common sport in the world. Millions of people do it in their free time, and truly billions are watching world championships. Professional players, football stars, became the idols of entire nations. You can call Diego Maradona, Paolo Maldini, Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Andrei Arashavin, Andriy Shevchenko.
This sport develops speed, intelligence, reaction accuracy and endurance. Football players are very hardened people, because they chase the ball in the fresh air from early spring to late autumn. Football is a team game and develops cohesion and team spirit. And most of all I am attracted to the unsurpassed excitement of this game!
I follow the Russian and world football championships. I also hope that someday the European Championship will be hosted by Russia, like this year Ukraine. Of course, I wished with all my heart that at Euro 2012 our team will reach at least the quarterfinals. But, alas ...
I myself also play football. From spring to autumn we drive the ball on the sports ground and school stadium. And in the winter I play football in the indoor hall of the sports complex.
