StreetBalling

Street soccer caught my eyes recently. This something you see in almost every society no matter how developing so Motorists, have some bit of patience! This could be some dangerous expedition seeing the risks involved. A bone might be cruhed or a life might be lost! It is this serious! A lot of football stars have been born in the streets though. If I were to call names, the list will roll. Some of world class Footballers were scouted from the streets and would never make a name in football had they depended on some fancy football Coach to train them into the spotlight. The bruised, smoked, and cursed their way to stardom!
It might be a mystery as to why street soccer always tend to be more exciting than the real game. Not even the nearby fields could discourage these youngsters from putting up a baricade in some 'unholy' space have some moments of fun. You see the skills and talents wasted right there on the boulevards and you hope some 'busy-body' Coach would saunter across and take these treasures to a Safe.
I used to really enjoy playing in the streets and I still do! No amount of briused heels or honks from passing vehicles would spoil this fun time is always so exhilarating. The first time I really enjoyed palying football here in Malaysia was at night playing Soccer under some halogen street lights. People talk about building Parks and fields to deter this young adventure seekers from ending their lives in their prime but I would suggest if it has not been already- Legalise street football. There is a different kind of fun to it!
