Read the following text then do the activities:
FOOTBALL FANATICS
People believe that international sport is a ‘good thing’ . They believe that nations who meet on a football
field or on an athletics track are unlikely to meet on a battlefield .
Others argue that the pressures on international sportsmen and sportswomen kill the essence of sport.
Children kick a football around for fun . When they get older and play for local school team , they become competitive but they still enjoy playing . The individual representing his country cannot afford to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nation’s hopes and dreams, patriotism and prestige . And this responsibility can be frightening .
So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport ? Certainly not! Do the Argentinians really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football is in every way better than all others ? Not really. But it’s nice to know that you won , and in one way at least your country is best .
