Why I like soccer
Most of the time, goals are created from 'nothing.' Teamwork, vision, timing, opportunism, practice. Perhaps these are all attributes we can use in real life. Hey I'm starting to sound like CoI! =P
A few attributes can be found in this short clip.
1. Opportunism
Will you sit back and enjoy a 3 goal lead or go on to try for something spectacular and out of the blue? Is there that predatory instinct inside of you?
2. Timing
When do you make your move? When is the right time to call for checkmate and get in the finishing move? Are you willing to risk getting yourself into a (offside) trap?
3. Practice
How could Xavi and Ronaldinho have known and predicted each other's movements such that the goal was successful? No verbal communications or physical gestures. Just pure body language.
Ahh, the beauty of soccer. The game of life.
Edit: youtube.com is down ATM so nothing I can do about it.
