This post was made to answer the #februaryinleo prompt day 8 which asked of my favourite sport. Here is a link to the topics @leogrowth/re-leothreads-36n9wdngd
There's this thrill that football gives to the player, the fan and everyone involved.
Most times you can't explain it but the real ones understand it without words.
I have been a football fan from as long as I can remember fanning the early legends like Kaka, Ronaldinho, Gerrard, Rooney,Henry, Lampard. Those guys introduced me to my love early enough.
I have been a football fan since then but my allegiance has changed from one club to another over the years and I can't really call myself a club fan. I just love me some good football match.
After the those legends retired came the era of Messi, Ronaldo, Bale, Neymar, Hazard, etc which kept my interest and was even more enticing.
I like seeing a good sequence of passes, beautiful dribbles and incredible goals. I love seeing the passion on display, I want to see the fans energetic and chanting at the top of their voices, the coach issuing out commands and instructions.
It's my intention to be in the stands among an energetic crowd chanting at the top of my voice to my favorite club or player.
Football means a lot to me,it offers me an avenue to not only entertain myself but also comforts me in those times I am passing through personal challenges that want to keep me down.
It is not just my favorite sport, it is the only sport I think about. At least for now.

There's a reason why football is the most watched sport and also generates the most money. A lot of people are just like me and would always make out time for the round leather game.
The only thing I enjoy more than football is watching football with friends. The banter and the shouts all make it more fun and enjoyable.
I used to play football too and football games on the computer. So when I am not watching I could be playing too.
These days the youngsters are doing well, players like Raphinha, Saka, Palmer, Fernandes, are now taking my attention.
Some older ones are still doing the magic despite age, just last week, Christiano Ronaldo celebrated his 40th birthday but going from he active he is and banging in goals, one would think he was 28 years old.
Salah keeps getting better with age, De'Bruyne is not doing badly too, just the injuries.
Thanks for your attention.
