My Favorite Game To Play – Soccer Starting at my childhood, and until now sport games are my favorite type of entertainment. Whether it is outside playing, or at home on my console, sporting kind of activity would be the number one choice to pick. The special place here has the one and only, king of sports – Soccer, also known as European Football. This game, on my opinion, is the most passionate and artistic game in the world! It brings excitement and joy either while playing it, or watching your favorite team playing. As a fan, and as a player I enjoy doing both. Needless to say, football has over 200 million fans across the planet, which makes it the most popular kind of sports. Simple rules and continuous gaming make soccer more attractive. Add to this players’ technics and skills and the game will become a show. I got introduced to football through my father and my grandfather. Grandpa would always take me outside to kick the ball to each other. I was around 3 or 4 years old and already then I would prefer to run with the ball on the street, rather than play with toys. I will remember the day, when my father took me to actual soccer match. I was five, it was a game between our local team and somebody else. It didn’t matter to me. I was watching a beautiful performance. I felt ecstatic, I loved the action, I enjoyed dangerous and goal moments. After the game, I told my dad that I want to become a soccer player. He smiled and said, “The son wants to follow his father. Once I was a player too”. He took my hand and told me a lot of stories on the way home. Ever since I entered school, I attended the football class. We took participation in many competitions throughout the school years. We have even been to our state’s finals, where we took 4th place. It is a great feeling coming out to the field and putting yourself alongside your partners to reach the goal, to win the game… Of course, I didn’t become a soccer star.
