The four-year World Cup has finally started. For me, a pseudo-fan, it's really too cold. Those who don't pay much attention to it don't know what the World Cup began. This was unimaginable in the past. No matter whether you are a fan or not, as long as you open the information media, it will be overwhelming reports. And this year, we have opened up information and media and are overwhelmingly spreading the epidemic. Alas...
I started with the World Cup in 1998. I just graduated that year and my job has not yet settled. As the World Cup started, a friend who loved football forced me to watch the football game. I had no interest at all and had no intention of that. Later, I came to the cinema with him to watch football. Those who purely watch the game will need ten yuan tickets. If you are interested, you can guess the team's win or loss or score. The amount is not limited. Of course, I chose to bet and spent ten yuan to buy the win or lose. Unexpectedly, after watching a game, I won ten yuan without spending a penny and left.
From then on, I took my friends to watch the game every day, carefully studied and asked for various professional knowledge of football, discussed the team's tactics, formation, and the status of the players... After a few games, I became a professional coach. I started to cheer together, shouted stinky balls together, and shouted black whistle together. If you win, you will be able to analyze it before the game, and if you lose, you will be a variety of dark stories. Fortunately, after a World Cup, I watched a lot of football games for free. I am even more fortunate that I was a newly graduated poor student at that time, and I didn’t have enough money and no one was willing to lend money to bet on football. I saw that this year's World Cup just opened shortly after it started, and due to the upset in Argentina, there were rumors that someone had gambled and jumped off the building. You really need to love football and stay away from gambling!
Although I fell in love with football because of betting, I learned a lot of big principles and common sense in life in the process. After a game, there are joys, sorrows, dedication, teams, and hard work. There are also false intentions, blackmail, and profit-oriented efforts. There are also romantic and romantic gossip.
It is said that football has nothing to do with politics, but this time the Iranian team's shut up and the English team's kneeling surpassed football itself and politics. This is not a naive performance, it is a role model power of conscience and the hope of human civilization; it is said that "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." I think these players are also one of these mankind. Football is simple and can bring me happiness. Football is very complicated and can make me think endlessly.
Although I talk about football with great qualities, I am indeed a complete pseudo-fan. I don’t have a very fan of teams. If I have time, I will watch which team plays well and cheer for them. I prefer the Dutch team just because I like the orange jerseys and their full attack and defense style are very pleasing to the eye. I don’t even know the names of their captain and coach. I don't have a very fantastic star, and I can't call a famous player and compete with the top players is enough for a team. I don’t have the desire and urge to get up in the early morning to watch the game. Even if my favorite Dutch team is not suitable for the live broadcast time, I will only care about the score the next day.
It was very popular before the epidemic. In a song that sings: Life is not just about the misery in front of you, but also about poetry and the fields in the distance. Now poetry and the distant fields are not easy to possess, but I can at least watch a few more games and temporarily forget the misery in front of me.
