Football is the most popular sport in the world. It attracts billions of people on the
globe. One fact is that a lot of small children tend to play football whenever they have
some free time. While some children prefer watching much admired footballers, others
are very enthusiastic to take part in the action. They look forward to the school day
ending so they can play a game of football in the street or on the school field. Young
boys imagine themselves becoming famous footballers. They dream of scoring the
