In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, one of the character asks what is interesting about 22 players chase one round leather ball. When I read my first Harry Potter book, even I had the very same question. How interesting is football to watch ? Having not followed the best football league in the world for years (If you doesn't know, it is easy. EPL... source of IPL's franchisee formula) , my footballing knowledge was very limited to Pele and Maradona. Having been sucked into the vortex of EPL in my final year of engineering, I still find it a daunting task to ignore or shun following EPL or Champions league. Being a self proclaimed fan of Steven Gerrard, I follow and support Liverpool Football Club (LFC) in EPL. Yesterday nite, I watched Liverpool play in Europa League against Benfica. At half time, I was confident that LFC would somehow hang on to win the match, but refereeing decisions made them lose. Heartbreak for all LFC supporters after the match!! :( After watching cracker of a match between Arsenal and Barcelona till 2.30 am the night before that, I tried abstaining myself from watching LFC play but to little effect. Continuously watching matches late in to the night is not good for health, which I came to realise this morning when I was down with the television hangover!! Didn't feel like coming to office nevertheless I had to move my butt off my bed !! Damn this telly hangover!!.P.S : With the Football World Cup fast approaching, the author doesn't know how to watch all the televised matches and still manage arriving to work place everyday!!
