Christened the Beautiful game, football no doubt is the only universal game that units races. No surprise why The great German player Franz Beckenbauer said it perfectly: “Football is one of the best means of communication. It is impartial, apolitical and universal. Football unites people around the world everyday. Young or old, players or fans, rich or poor. The game makes everyone equal, stirs the imagination, makes people happy and makes people sad.”
Football is a sport that is very easy to understand. The rules are simple. The game doesn’t have commercial breaks (aside from half time), and there aren’t many nuances to the way the game is played. It is either you win, Lose or Draw.
