Why Always Football. Does anything ever come close in terms of drama? In terms of natural highs and lows? The highs fans of Manchester City felt after Aguero’s goal in the 93rd minute could not, I believe, have been rivalled by any drug. Football brings us moments that the writing team of Dream Team would probably have thrown out for being too far fetched. A goalkeeper scoring a goal in injury time to keep his club in the league? A team winning 6-1 at the home of their local rivals with three goals in injury time? No one could write a thing like that.

 

Football has the power of forming friendships, it has the power of bringing communities, and people, closer together. If it wasn’t for football, the world would be a far less interesting place.
