Large, round object. Move it towards the goal. Outmaneuver those big, burly guys trying to stop you. Be quick. Use your feet. Sounds familiar? Sounds like my life

Maybe one is handicapped. Maybe their feet don't work so well. It doesn't really matter. All it takes to serve G-d is to be in the "right" frame of mind and to know he is by my side.
This is how I can perform the mitzvot of the Torah. Though I am learning this slowly. You speak of negative traits. I have been my own worst enemy. I have always heard this saying, G-d's time is the best time. I never liked it. It meant to me I needed to wait for things I desired and thought I needed so desperately at the time. How wrong I was.
I now have a hunger I never posessed before to learn more about my faith, and G-d is putting people in my life to teach me. Also, I am remembering another saying, be careful for what you ask for, because you might just get it.

Thank you for a no-frills, non embellished perspective on the sport that is currently holding the world's attention. Special thanks for posting sources! While there has never been any doubt (at least in my mind) as to the authenticity of your teachings and comment, sources enable the reader to take your teachings to a deeper level. Keep it up!

Well done, and great article. I thought maybe you could add, that in soccer, goals are also scored with our heads. This might show the importance of using our intellectual faculties in achieving the purpose of creation. Despite the usage of 'headers' in soccer, since most goals are scored by foot, this shows that "action is the main thing", while intellect is only to help that specific goal.....

In football, the way to reach the goal is to take from others what they have, that is why it is so popular in our "rat-race" world.
In my view, everyone should have what they want, and everyone should naturally (even if "naively") strive for that common goal. That's why I don't like football very much, I prefer cooperation rather than conflict. Besides, I don't mind losing at all, I just want to do everything as best as I can. Nothing else matters in this world because there is nothing that you can really lose when you live from within...
