My Favourite Sport - Football

My favourite sport is football. It is a very interesting game, despite that some people say that it is quite boring. The reason why I love football is not just because it is the most popular sport in the world, but for its strength. There is no other thing that could give me so much joy and relaxation like a good football match.

Football is a team sport played between two teams, of 11 players each. It is a ball game played in a grass field with goal at each end. The object of a game is to score by maneuvering the ball into the opposing goal. The predominant feature of the sport is that no player other than the goal keeper may use their hands to propel the ball in general play. The winner is team who score the most goals by the end of the match.



Football is generally a free flowing game, with play stopping only when the ball has left the field or when play is stopped by the referee. All football players are specified. Broadly, there are four main categories: strikers, defenders, midfielders and the most important goalkeepers. Football has a lot of rules, but today I won’t talk about them.

The team who I fond of is Manchester United FC (MUFC). This football club plays in Premier League and is its champion. Red devils – that is their nick name – also plays in Champion League, like one of the best football clubs in the world.


Christiano Ronaldo is one of the Manchester United players who I like the most of all. Even he is only 21 year old, he has achieved a lot by now. Christiano is real hot-headed, but the way that he act with the ball is totally amazing.
In my opinion football is really superb sport. Not everyone can control the ball with feet the way like football players do. Footballers must have a lot of nerve and persistence. They also have to be very strong and hardy, because to run in a field for 90 minutes isn’t easy.


In the end I just want to say that football is my number in sports.
