Analysis of The philosophy of football



some do it for the fame
others for the name
though losing is part of the game
but i don't lose
for i am a winner
and not a loser
anyone can win
and anyone can lose too
for life's a game of chance
accept defeat and move on
that will help you to be a champion
For it is not over
until you lose courage
so don't lose hope
if your game goes bad
but how to tame the game
and turn things around
win if the chance comes
for creating opportunities
are part of the game
