Sports is an important part of cultural tradition in Great Britain.
There are two especially well known national sports which are liked by everybody - tennis and football.
World Football Championship which takes place every four-year is an important event.
This event is not only a possibility to watch top class football, it is also an opportunity to see some of the most well known players of the world.
Wimbledon, which world tennis competition takes place every June is the event which is paid much attention. It is not only a sporting event – it is a culture event.
It is not uncommon for tennis fans to take a small holiday so that they can watch the matches undisturbed. While some tennis lovers watch the games in comfort in their living-rooms, others are happy to brave the unpredictable June weather to watch the games live.
There are some discussions why the professional sportsmen are extremely highly paid, but many fans think that the big pleasure which they receive of watching a true professional action is worth any price.
