For many of us football started off when we were children. It grew the competitive aspects of our lives. Gaining the cutting edge over our rivals was cultivated from such a young and entertaining experience. We learnt resilience, pain and how to deal with rivalry. The beautiful game taught us about the bounds of expressing aggression and passion in the same field. How passion can turn into reward, the consistency in hard work has seen future football stars speak to their younger self and in deed see it paid off. A mix of both talent and hard work gives the best result. We have seen the best players but due to their lack of consistency in the game, has seen their football profession taken a decline and finally gotten into a deep.

It was on the pitch that we were immersed into the sportsmanship and made friends that we would meet faithfully each week. A sport that will turn into uniting us as men and affirm our togetherness. It taught us how to deal with the loss of emotional investment into one particular team or one specific game. Endurance through the tough times as football is a curve and not a straight line nor can you get a line of best fit. We have seen legends retire and new crop of talent sprout. It was once Pele and the Late Maradona, its now Messi and Ronaldo and Mbappe Haaland it might be.

The football world is changing and the old type of football is taking a shift. The 21st century football is kicking in. The players are embracing modern football and have developed their talent into brands used to promote corporates. Players are making more money off the pitch than on the pitch. The game is finally paying off on the monetary aspect of it. The value attached to it is finally paying off. The players are finally getting rewarded for their hard earned effort.
