I have something to reveal and its hard for me to say but I am a Soccerholic. Now usually I hate the fact that people call football soccer because I’m English and most of the world call the game football but I use the word soccer as it suits my purpose better than football. Anyway enough of that rubbish and back to subject in hand!
Obsessed
I recently realised that I will watch every bit of football action that I can. I currently watch games from the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, German Bundesliga, Italian Serie A, French Ligue One, Dutch Eredivisie and Russian Premier League. If that wasn’t enough I have recently even started watching action from the American MLS. Although I used to watch the league many years ago I have lost touch with the league until a few weeks ago.
I have always been obsessed with the beautiful game. Even at a young age I was writing and reading about football stats and figures. I loved to play the game and would even play in crazy conditions. I once stayed on the football pitch when everybody else had ran inside during a thunder storm!. My love for playing and watching football obvious spread to reporting and writing about the game.
Sad but true
I think I may have a problem. I find myself thinking about football all the time. I drive my partner absolutely crazy sometimes. She doesn’t understand my passion. She says its just a game and other various sayings but as football fans we know its much more than just a game to us. It might be a hobbie or a pastime for some people but to me football is a passion.
When we go to the match we are part of something, a part of male bonding that is sometimes lacking in other parts of society. At the match we talk to people we wouldn’t usually talk to outside of the stadium. We hug people we don’t know when our team scores. The smell of the football stadium, the noises, the whole atmosphere of the game. You just can’t beat it.
Its the same the whole world round. We are a part of a team or a community because of who we support. From Bolton to Buenos Aires the beautiful game unites people. It means so much to so many people and a football club can be the centre of a community. That is why I love the game so much.
Are you a kindered spirit?
I was just wondering if there’s anybody out there who has the same passion for the game and watches as much football as me. Do you find yourself blanking out when your partners talking to you and thinking about the weekends game? Do you think about football while sitting in your office at work?
Do you constantly annoy your friends and relatives with meaningless football stats? If you do all these things its likely that you are a Soccerholic and need help. To get help please call 0151 foot ball or just leave a comment underneath this article!
