I love playing with the ball, and I love football the most. This is a very entertaining game, full of excitement. She came to us from England, although in ancient Egypt and the Maya had similar ball games. Today, football - the most common type of sport in the world. Millions of people are engaged in their spare time, and indeed billions watching the world championships. Professional players, soccer stars, have become idols of entire peoples. You can call Diego Maradona, Paolo Maldini, Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Andrew Arashavina, Andriy Shevchenko.
This sport develops speed, quickness, accuracy, reaction and endurance. The players are very seasoned people, because they chase the ball in the outdoors from early spring to late autumn. Football is a team game and develop cohesion and team spirit. And most of all I was attracted to the excitement of this game is unmatched!
I watch Russian and world soccer championship. Still I hope that someday the European Championship, will take Russia, in Ukraine this year. Of course, I wish with all my heart that at Euro 2012, our team will come out at least the quarter-finals. But, alas ...
I'll also play football. From spring to autumn we played football on the playground and the school stadium. And in the winter I am engaged in the indoor football hall of the sports complex.
My favorite football team - St. Petersburg "Zenith", and in Europe - the English "Arsenal", the Italian "Milan". I also am a fan of Ukrainian "Miner". I have not been to the big stadiums and memorable matches. I went only to support our local team, which plays in the second division national championship. But when I grow up, be sure to go on a serious championship game and see the high-end players.
