“How great, football is too simple to explain it. Therefore, many confuse him with religion, or with life ... But football seems to me by art.
The egregious simplicity of the rules speaks of the insurmountable perfection of this game. As in sex or chess, nothing can be invented here or, moreover, improve.
However, simplicity does not mean undemanding. Football recognizes only complete self -forgetfulness. He does not allow himself to be distracted. He completely excludes you from life, for which you are grateful to him.
Football is unpredictable and that is beautiful. Unlike those achievements that are determined by meters and seconds, football is deprived of measure and sequence. The goal can be a continuation of the game, but it can cross out everything created by it. Unjust, like life, football and logical is no more than it. Those who know how to play. Those who forgot about it win.
