I predicted even before reading this thread that it would contain a rant about football! As for myself, I love football. I've played it since I can remember (5 years old?) and some of the greatest moments in my life have come playing the game (I scored 8 goals in one game, got on the back of the local newspaper with a color photo and headline!). I still play every Sunday and am considering taking it up on Saturday too.
For some people to say it takes no skill to play the game, boggles the mind. If you believe that, you should be playing in the Premiership earning £100,000 a week. It's a game that requires skill, coordination, fitness and strength - not to mention a cool mind under pressure.
