I got up early this morning to see the classical match of the semi-final between Real and Barca. Everything seemed to be advantageous for Barca when their opponent was sent off both Pepe, an important player in the midfield and the manager, Jose Mourinho who is known all over the world as "Special One". He overeacted with the red card which the referee gave to Pepe.
Although I have not had much time to play football since the graduation in June 2008, I am really keen on the King of the sport. I started to play soccer when I was a 6-year-old boy. At that time, I was able to compete the ball with even the older fellows as well as kick strongly. I also took part in many leagues in every level: from ward, school to province, university. Besides, I was the captain of HUT team when I was the fourth-year student.
Football, which is commonly refered as soccer in US, is very useful for your health and your character if you always practice this amazing sport. In my point of view, this is the most excited entertainment activity all over the world. People could eat, drink and even sleep with the ball which can make them happy, thrilling or sometimes sad and disppointed feeling. Moreover, football is becoming a kind of religion that interests people from the different societies and cultures.
Besides that fact, football also has brought some negative effects, even the death. There have been a lot of disasters that appeared in football matches. For example, stands were full of fans that would collapsed easily by the weight of thousands of people who were screaming. In those bad situations, people just would like to escape as soon as possible and they would jump over each other that caused death.
In a football match with my friends approximately 3 years ago, my knee's ligament was broken and as a result of that, I had to suffer a surgery to fix it. It took me almost one year for rehabilitation before being able to play football again. However, my stamina and ability is not as strong as in the past.
