Your favorite sport.
My favorite sport is soccer⚽ (football) and I'm glad to take part in this sweet topic titled my favourite sport.
_*tell us about that sport you love watching or playing. Tell us a little bit about it and how it is played. And tell us why you enjoy it so much*_
Before I proceed I will like to talk little about soccer (football). Soccer is a game played on a field between two (2) teams of eleven (11) players each on a side with a round ball⚽ into the opponent's goal post by kicking or hitting it with any part of the body except the hands only the goalkeepers are allowed to touch the ball with their hands during play.
A soccer game is estimated to last for 90 minutes full-time and divided into two (2) 45-minutes halves. Tha time of a professional football matches is 90-minutes of the regular time and 5-10 minutes extra.
The kickoff for the first period is determined by a coin toss by the referee and any team that won the toss gets to kickoff the first period and the other team then gets to kickoff for the second period.
purpose of the game - players is to move the ball⚽ into the opponent's goal post using only the feet, head, chest to control and advance the ball⚽. Only the goalkeepers can touch the ball⚽ with their hands, players can run with the ball⚽ or pass to teammates to quickly move the ball⚽ around the field and the team scoring the most goals wins.
Basic skills in soccer involves the following.
Passing/shooting
Dribbling and controlling or (trapping) the ball⚽ and those skills can be learned at any age, and a good soccer player works hard continually to improve his skills.
*why I enjoy watching or playing soccer (football).
Why I enjoy watching or playing soccer is because the sport is educative and its also improved the mind towards quick decisions and it makes you to understand some skills as teamwork, perseverance, and decision making with that you can apply all that to all aspects of your life. It also help one to learn to relate to ups and downs of life, anticipate opportunities and how to work with your peers to solve problems. Sometimes when I'm not in the mood of doing anything like talking to someone or I don't feel too good in the mind I just engage myself on playing soccer or watching my favourite team/club just to ease up mines from heavy boredom😅
Passion is something that drags me to love soccer, and the reason why I love watching or playing soccer is because of the passion the sport makes me feel. So why does this happen?
Because of a lot of factors actually, but the most important one is because of the pride and affection fans and players feel for their soccer team😅.
As for me soccer is the best sport to keep body and souls together👍 and soccer is like the best wine🍷
