Week two topic - Football

Make it interesting.

It's Romain and I will talk to you about football. The football is my big passion and I watch almost every competiton. My prefer team is Bordeaux becaus there were some great players (but not now ...). My biggest football-related emotion was in the 2018 Worl Cup final, when France won the final and raises the trophee. My favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo because he's a great worker and so he deserves to have won all this. I practice football since the age of my 5 years and now practice football at Leroy Angoulême. I can play all positions except goalkeeper because I used to change positions every year in any club where I played (Saintes, Royan, Angoulême).

It's Quentin and I'm going to talk about football.
Football is a sport very well known all over the world thanks to it's media coverage. This sport allows a great media coverage thanks to the many great palyers that allow brands to develop. Football is a team sport that creates a good atmosphere at the stadium and allows people to forget the bad times in their life. That's why I pratice football since I was 6 years old, it allows young people to integrate into society with the different types of people that can be crossed, and therefore to create a good atmosphere and a good group while having fun.

I play soccer since eight years. I begin in St GEORGES des Coteaux. I begin played with my brother in one category upper. I have begin very bad and I work very very hard for improve myself. Now, I play with the "senior" since 2 years.
I support Bordeaux in Ligue 1 since tiny. In England, I support Manchester United. I love play and watch the soccer. In football, I like the mind collective. Of more, it's a sport where you use hability, speed, strong, address and full others qualitys. It's sport very complete. That's why is the best sport in world. So, the sport transmits lot of emotion.

Football is a common sport around the world.This sport is highly publicized and especially in men.Football makes it possible to spend convivial moments with our friends (World Cup).This sport has evolved a lot since its birth, especially with "la VAR".Unfortunately football causes a lot of problems today, indeed supporters are not always respectful towards the opposing team. Supporters throw bottles, bombs or other objects on the ground and some manage to come to the field what bothers the players. Also, many questions arise about the amount of players salaries or the transfer price of some players which is very very very high..... Moreover, football is still very little publicized among women even if it evolves.

Hello, it's Maëlle, and I'm going to talk to you about football, more specifically about racism that we've heard a lot about lately; several players received insults on social networks or songs in stadiums during games.
Some countries are more affected by this kind of phenomenon, Italy is very much affected by it.
But we see the teammates of the players defend them.
Referees are encouraged to stop the match if this type of incident occurs.

Hello, today I'm going to speak about money in the world of football.Football is a highly watched sport especially male football, which has been broadcast for many years on television. Football is a team sport like any other, but its popularity has made it a business.The salaries of footballers can amount to millions of euros, have paid large sums of money to move a player from one team to another team.Countries like Qatar give a lot of money to acquire clubs, sponsors, television broadcasts... And even football fans contribute to this business, they buy football derivatives or they make bets on matches.Has football become more of a business than a sport?

Most people don’t know what football really represents. For the latter, it's just a high-profile game where the main actors are overpaid while all they do is kick a ball. These people don’t know anything about football.
For me, Football is more than just a game. It's the only sport that brings together thousands of people in a stadium and hundreds of thousands on the street to celebrate their team’s victory. In the space of 90 minutes, he puts people in a bubble where they don't think about the problems they may have in their lives but only think about encouraging and supporting their team.
People who haven’t played football can’t understand the unique feeling you get when you score a goal and your teammates come and embrace you.
Yes, football makes countless people happy.

The role of supporters in a football stadium is very important during the match, it can be positive and encouraging for the players, as harmful when it shows homophobic speech or it tries to interrupt the match with projectiles or fireworks. Whether in the destruction of the seats of a stadium, a massive launch of projectile, or run on the ground to stop the match, supporters have imagination. But, for the creation of songs, Supporters are very creative too, and this is a good thing.

For this Week, we chose to speek about Football.

I would to talk in particular about wages in Football. Indeed, most of the people say that footballers are too much paid for their job. They say:"they are paid millons to run after a ball". But I think they're wrong, because it's more complicated than that. Indeed, most of  footballers sacrificed their childhood to become profesional, and there is not much who  succeed. Futhermore, they are athlets so they have a lot of training, they folow a diet, in order to have a good healthy lifestyle, and it could be hard sometimes. So, I think they have merit.

Then, all the footballers don't win millions. For exemple, a player in Ligue 2 don't win millions, same in Ligue 1, only most famous win that, but people do a generality.

Finally, they receive this wage, why they would refuse it, no one would refuse it.

Today, I'm going to talk about Football. I don't practice this sport but everyone in the word knows this sport. It has become a real social phenomenon because it is the most televised sports activities in the word. Although men's football is more mediatized, woman's football time to take more and more space in our society. This sport is allows real cohesion in a country during major sporting events, but also many conflics between differents clubs in a same country.

Today, i'm going to talk about football. I practice this sport since a lot of years, i had six years old when i became practice football! I'm a goalkeeper since i'm younger because i adore the responsability of this poste.
It's my passion because this sport procure a lot of emotions and have a lot of good ideas.
Football is the sport the most practice in the world and a lot of people go to the stade to see matches.
The french team is the best team in the world (we are world's champions!!!).
My favourite team is Lyon and my idole is Anthony Lopes. For me, he is the best goalkeeper of french championnat and he is an exemple!

I'm Alexia and I'm going to talk to you about football.
It is the most practiced sport in the world. Men's football is widespread and well publicised. But women's football is also becoming more and more widespread. We will then focus on women's football.
At the international level, a first European Cup was organised in 1969. It pits England, Denmark, France and Italy against each other. As women's football is not officially recognised by FIFA and UEFA, this competition is "unofficial";.
At the world level, the first World Cup was played in July 1970. It is still an "unofficial"; competition. After several such organisations, UEFA (1984) and FIFA (1991) agreed that "official"; competitions, such as the Women's World Cup and the European Women's Football Championship, should be set up. Today, there are a very large number of women's football competitions around the world.

Today, football is linked to an image of money and everyone forgets what real football is all about:

A SPORT that makes it possible to create links without distinction of origin, social class or even skin colour, whether you play or watch it, that's all you think about, for example during the World Cup the French were more united than ever despite the country's crisis, even if it's temporary and thanks to football it gives me hope that there's no longer any discrimination and above all that you can be more supportive, and I think you can use football to deal with discrimination. Because football is now one of the only sports that makes it possible to forget and break down the obstacle of discrimination, so yes, if I were to give just one quality of football, it would be this one.

today I am going to talk about soccer.
I practice this sport since I have 4 years old. for me the football is a sport who encouraged people to evolve in cooperation. this sport is very interesting because we have to play for others and with others people. the soccer have very good values like : cooperation, team, play for other ... But in soccer we also have bad values like racism ( for exemple the black people who was insulted during the match ).
for finish in the soccer we can find very good moment like the victory of France during the World Cup in 1998 and 2018.
in soccer we can also find many qualities and good people.

today I'm going to talk to you about football. I practice this sport for 7 years and it is my passion, it is a pretty complete and very competitive sport.My favorite team is a Juventus of Turin . In pro a lot of player rolls with big car to go to train but there is one (which is my favorite play) which is very far from being like that Ngolo kante a very great player that we do not hear much to speak because he is discreet and very humble. He went to training he goes running and he comes running too I think it is an example that many should take. Apart from that, I find that this sport brings together a lot of people especially at the time of the World Cup.

Hello ,

First of all, football is played at 11 to 11 (10 players and 1 goalkeeper per team) on a field measuring between 90 and 120 meters long and between 45 and 90 meters wide.
Each player must wear shorts, jerseys, socks, shin guards and soccer cleats. Moreover, in order for the match to be played in good conditions, three referees are present to supervise the match.
Finally many rules exist in football as free kicks after a foul by the opposing team, corners, offside when an attacker gets a ball behind the defense of the opposing team.

Today I’m going to talk about politics in football.
Football is the most popular sport in the world, but it also has an important political and financial power. It is the most publicised sport in the world, so politics use it to touch many people (we often see E.MACRON with french football players at the “Elysée”).
In 1998, politicians used the French victory as an image of the success of integration.
In 2010 and during the Benzema case, the government also took place to try to fix the problem.
Today, the major problem is the money. The different big institutions like UEFA or FIFA scare some politicians because nobody can control them, and they are more powerful than some countries.

An interesting take. Thanks Matthieu.

In football, some players are generous. There are some who work for the good cause by donating or doing good deeds. As for example Cristiano Ronaldo, who is constantly multiplying the good deeds. For example, a few years ago he donated € 147,000 to a cancer research center. But also he funded the operation of a child with a brain disease. The cost of the operation was € 60,000. In 2016, he also offered his match bonus of € 600,000 to a charity. it's not the only one but he's the most generous sportsman.

First of all, football is the most known and played sport through the globe. By the way, thanks to the passion, this sport transmits emotions for players and also supporters especially when a team reach the victory at the 90' :it looks like they're going crazy as if they won the lottery ! Moreover, UEFA tries to transmit values ​​of respect through the fields but unfortunately we can still hear screams of racism in some of football stadiums, mostly in Italy.

It's thibaud and I'm going to talk about football and more particularly women’s soccer.
Men’s soccer is the most watched sport in the world on the other hand for women’s football this is not at all the case.
30 years ago women’s soccer was almost not in the news alost everyone saw sport only by men .
football was considered a man’s sport.
but in the past years women’s soccer has extent.
Through especially at the World Cup, there are more and more girls playing in clubs.
I’m talking about this because it’s important to me because my mom played soccer for 15 years on a national level and she taught me that girls can be better than boys and that no sport is reserved for boys or girls.

Currently Canal + Sport package costs 34.90 Euros and only allows to watch football, Ligue 1 and Ligue 2. The RMC Sport offer is 19 Euros and gives the opportunity to view the Premier League, the Champions League and the Europa League. To watch a Serie A, Liga or Bundesliga match, you have to take the offer at 15 Euros from beIN. In total to have all the European football, it is 70 Euros that must be paid out monthly. A real joke. Especially when you know that the price of the German DAZN subscription is 9.99 Euros / month and gives access to all the competitions listed above. In addition, 10 years ago you could see the Champions League for free on TF1. Today, it takes at least 3 subscriptions to follow the Ligue 1, the European Cups and the foreign championships. This is obviously too much for the average French home and unfortunately it deprives high-level football of many people. Television football has become a luxury product in France. Once again, the fans are not taken into account.

Hello sir,
I would like to talk about football but not "the truth" like say players of budding football, I would like to talk about the football in a close space like in a gymnasium, the name not really famous of this indoor football is "Futsal". It's five players with the guardian so fourth players on the ground, so five against five. About the ground and the cage in futsal it's the same than a hand ball ground. Dimensions of the ground and the numbers of players isn't the last difference between football and futsal there is also the time of the game. So there are two half time of 20min it's really short but very intensive, the size of the ground favors all actions, attacks and shots. All this actions are done very quickly so if I wanted to tell to you what is the best quality of a futsal player it's that responsiveness.

Football exists since October 26, 1863, thanks to The Football Association. This sport is played at 22, 11 in each team.
The match lasts 90minutes, it's a ball game and the goal is to mark goals, more than the opposing team.
I don't practice football and I did it once when I was little. I wtach sometimes games on TV and I watched with my friends the 2018 World Cup in Royan.
I d'ont have favorite football team.
