When I showed up here, I didn’t know one thing about soccer. But now… Well, now I know at least one thing about football.
Total Football is about letting go of your baggage and trusting your intuition. It’s jazz. It’s Motown. It’s Mamet. It’s Pinter. It’s Einstein. It’s Keurig. It’s Gaga! It’s my mother proudly displaying her vibrator on the bedside table! It’s about throwing off the constraints put upon you by society and by yourselves! We all know football is life. But a beautiful life is Total Football.
On a football team, captain has three jobs. Make sure everyone’s heading towards the same goal. Stand up for what’s right. And put the well-being of others before yourself.
I get that some people think if they buy a ticket, they’ve got the right to yell whatever abusive s*** they want at footballers. But they’re not just footballers. They’re also people. And none of us know what is going on in each other’s lives.
Heck, you could fill two Internets with what I don’t know about football.
Football isn’t just a game. It’s one of those amazing things in life that can make you feel s*** one moment, and then, like it’s Christmas morning the next. It has the ability to make heroes and villains out of ordinary men.
