I personally like both Cricket and Football. If I had to choose between them, I will choose football. Sport should be fast paced, exciting and thrilling,
and where you can get it all, FOOTBALL!! People really think Cricket is better
then football. Everytime i watch a cricket
match. I start snoring just after 15 min.
I saw one person said that he find football boring and finds a
game in which only 3 players play at a time and others just wait for ball to come
to them more interesting than football. Football is more than just 22 men
trying to put the ball into net. You'll never understand the tactics used
behind the screen by the coaches to make that 11 player machine to work in such
coordination so that they can pass that ball in net. 11 players playing that
beautiful game in such coordination, you'll never find that in Cricket.
Now in terms of popularity, no sport is more popular
on this earth than football. More than half of the world don't know what
cricket is and they dont even have time to give shit to sport like that. On the
other hand 200 nation on this planet plays football and compete to qualify for
32 slots to win that prestigious FIFA World Cup trophy, unlike Cricket which
only have 12 teams in so called ICC World Cup.
I think
football is more ancient game than cricket. When early man first saw a coconut
or a stone lying around, he would have first thought of kicking it instead of
chucking it another person and hoping he has a bark of a tree to hit it
with.
And I think its me and all those football fan around
the world who make this sport so special. Who pray for their team to be on the
top and support even when they lose in the first round or in the final.
Football is a sport in which the 12th player are the fans.
It’s a beautiful game because it is played in all
weather whether its raining, hailed, slushed, the players are on the field and
the game goes on. In football, it takes
90 minutes to decide a winner (ok, a few minutes more in some cases). In cricket, purists
believe it takes 5 days of about 6 hours
each (30 long-drawn hours) to choose between two teams. And often, even that is insufficient… Guess
that’s why it’s called a test. A test of
your patience.
Only 1 guy
runs at any given point of time, while everybody else just watches him – either it’s the bowler, batsman
or fielder. In football, everybody’s
running after the ball. The only spectators are outside the field.
