The selling point of football in the world is happiness. It shows a colorful color, a sunny temperament, and a happy time. The point of sale of football is that the winner is king.

The experience of football is to have doubts: watching football sometimes burns people. Even if you want to be on the scene, sometimes you expect the game to end early and look forward to leaving the stadium, because you have already believed that the most heartbreaking scene is likely to come soon.

Usually, this is indeed the case. Football is always accompanied by a failure. There is only one champion team in a league, and thirty-two teams come to the World Cup, and 31 teams will go home, considering countless kinds of "if" …

L & # England could break these rules without repeating the story These frustrations, injuries and annoyances are always incredible. It's also dangerous, because football is full of helplessness, so you can not avoid the cruel outcomes for the things that hold you most at heart, but football can be compelling, even if Is an idea or an error. In a word, it can affect everything and make it a disaster.

Any neutral public who has seen England lead 2-0 in Sweden might find that they would not lose. Many English fans believe that as soon as they say "our team is strong", the Swedish team will score a goal.

For this reason, behind a goal is often more rebaduring than a goal. The worst thing is already happening.

So, you are wrong. We appreciate the process, it's just a sporting competition, I do not expect what we win anyway.

You put yourself in fixed stereotypes: England is the laughing stock of big game, England can not win a penalty, English players are spoiled by selfish ghosts, never spend money 39, money to raise them. The fans are the same thing.

The hope is the illusion of self-deception, the dream is to sleep at night, football is a disappointment.

You know all this is the truth, but you also know how crazy football can be. It can make you jump up and down, hold your friend's neck, face your face and scream loudly, blow you up on the back of a stranger and make millions of people at the same time. People experience the same feelings together.

You still love football, because it's still possible. You always have a daydream, because a little corner of your heart does not think it's a daydream. You tell others, do not think about what happens after the next game, and then you think about it.

Because football can change quickly. You missed a penalty and the opponent could miss two. You went further than the last quarter century, then looked up and found that the strong team is gone. You listen to what the players say, look at their social media, and you find that you see common traits and see the kind of people you love.

And when football changes, we change too. We demand hope that the defender will take a big break when the opponent will pressure him, then that he will be happy to see them control the ball. We are worried that the other unknown player could play a secret weapon this time, and then happy to discover the world of Kieran Trippier and Harry Maguire (Harry) Maguire, Maggia / Maguni) is impressive. We claim to be indifferent to England team friendly matches, endless substitutions and insignificant friendships, and then earnestly hope their next match will come soon, and then against Garif Sosgate. (Gareth Southgate, Shufuji) is back.

The London 2012 Olympic Games are a big sporting carnival: too many major projects have been marked with the m flag, but the wealth that has survived for a long time is that it takes too much time to think. Past countries have seen a vision of modern Britain, which is so fresh and familiar to all British people.

It is there that three stars of a super Saturday wrote their story: Jessica Ennis-Hill, one of Sheffield. A Métis girl, Greg Rutherford, a native who had played for England with a former grandfather more than a century ago, Mo Farah, an eight-year-old boy. in London to become a boy of the capital.

Similarly, this team from England also represents the English Society of 2018. The Sunderland-skinned boy kept the goal, and a midfielder from Milton Keynes, a Nigerian father and an English mother . Three great men from South Yorkshire are at the back, an attacker born in Jamaica and who grew up in West London. Another midfielder was in Lisbon, there is also the star captain who worked as a rental player in the teams of Leiden East and Milwae (Michel).

All of this has something unreal. A cold, muddy and rainy winter, a summer that arrives early and illuminates everything. Those sunny mornings, those nights when the football game was closed during the night, those nights that did not arrive until the end of the party. A team that was eliminated by a small country of 330,000 at the last competition, a team that was eliminated in the World Cup group four years ago, broke into this semi-final and the 39, fully appreciated. Every moment of it.

There are many reasons to dislike football. These idiots who appear in the stands of your own club, those chauvinists who follow the national honors, these expensive jerseys, these tariffs, those who are loaded on the web page of the robot, but who receive a subscription fee; Satellite TV packages, those that start before lunch or after tea on Sunday, those that do not require an intermediary, but have to pay for the middleman.

Then you think about the climax of the past three weeks that have spurred adrenaline, embarrbading emotions, images on big screens across the UK, those that you do not have. have almost nothing to do, The face reflects the filled happiness of your heart.

Only football can do it. England won the world rugby championship and brought infinite happiness to the crowd. The cricket team of England in 2005 won the Ashes Cup and the people who were accustomed to the Australian monopoly were happy.

However, they did not touch as many distant corners as this one. When Michael Vaughan's English cricket team won the championship, the highest audience of viewers was 8.4 million, when Jonny Wilkinson hit the ball into the opponent's training, there was 15 million viewers watched. Andy Murray's first Wimbledon title attracted 17.3 million viewers, and this time he represented all of Britain.

The top of the England team in the 16-fight against Colombia was 23.6 million. The semifinal of the evening of Wednesday, July 11 should attract more viewers.

And you, do not want this to end. For the rest of the World Cup, at least two of them will face the old world of football. It will again be irritating, frustrating and falling into those who have not happened.

Finally, a team will see something else. Colorful colors, sun and happiness.

Maybe everything will end here and return to its original place. Or maybe, this time, it's not the same anymore.
