As I grew older, I did not follow the football career because there are many politics and corruption in this game. Match fixing accusations and scams start at ward football games, up to the world governing body FIFA. Those who have played plastic football would testify that opposing teams used to pay kickbacks to goalkeepers or referees during tournaments where money was involved.
There is this player, Sua Rex or something. Whenever he is in possession of his balls, or rather, ball, I feel like I should just grab the TV screen and tell him how much I love him. The last time I watched this boy score a goal was during a Liverpool game, I almost kicked my neighbour’s TV set, who was irritated at the manner in which I celebrated the goal. My neighbour has this television that shows the viewer all sorts of things – movies, football, news and others and I spend most of my weekends at his house. He hasn’t shared his magic with me, on what he did to his television to produce such good things. Mine can only show me BTV. It only shows SABC channels when it is in a good mood, or after I have turned it upside down and kicked it several times.
