“Absurdly, I haven’t yet got around to saying that football is a wonderful sport, but of course it is. Goals have a rarity value that points and runs and sets do not, and so there will always be that thrill, the thrill of seeing someone do something that can only be done three or four times in a whole game if you are lucky, not at all if you are not. And I love the pace of it, its lack of formula; and I love the way that small men can destroy big men … in a way that they can’t in other contact sports, and the way that t he best team does not necessarily win. And there’s the athleticism …, and the way that strength and intelligence have to combine. It allows players to look beautiful and balletic in a way that some sports do not: a perfectly-timed diving header, or a perfectly-struck volley, allow the body to achieve a poise and grace that some sportsmen can never exhibit.”
“…So please, be tolerant of those who describe a sporting moment as their best ever. We do not lack imagination, nor have we had sad and barren lives; it is just that real life is paler, duller, and contains less potential for unexpected delirium.” #FeverPitch #NickHornby #Mineirão #BeloHorizonte #BH #Beagá #Belzonte #MinasGerais #MG #Futebol #Football #Fútbol #Balompié #Calcio #Cruzeiro #CruzeiroEsporteClube #CEC (at Mineirão)

um grande amigo certa feita me disse que o esporte é a guerra daqueles demasiadamente medrosos para matar. hoje eu estive na casa do inimigo. e quase gostei.

once, a good friend of mine said that sports are the war of those who are too scary to kill somebody else. today i’ve been to the enemy’s territory. and i almost enjoyed it.

una vez, un gran amigo mío dijo que los deportes son la guerra de aquellos que tienen demasiado miedo a matar a alguien. hoy he estado en la casa del enemigo. y casi me gustó.

un cop, un gran amic va dir que els esports son la guerra d’aquells amb massa por de matar un altre. avui he estat a la casa de l’enemic. i casi m’ha agradat.
