Depiction of Life through Football

Football is a classic game since time immemorial.  The striker, midfielders, defenders are the part of the team, yet incomplete without his fellow mates.  The depiction of football field is clearly resembles the life of us as an individual in the showground of the world. Let’s make an equation to make the picture very lucid.

The Field = World
The Football= life Force
The Striker = Individual
The Second Striker = Intellect
The Centre Forward= Mind
90 Mins= Period & Time
The Defender= Evolution
The Midfielder= Loner
The Refry= Discipliner
The Boundary= Perfection
The Goal= Achievement
The Dribble= Quality
The Pavilion= Hell/Heaven

World is like the field where the player as an individual create the magic and achieve their own as well as team goals. The ball is the life force like of a human being who runs after one thing. The Striker as an individual has the power to pull out the defenders and the opponents to bring out the sensation of best goal from the best position because of the ball control abilities. He is a shooter with feet and power of his mind.
The second striker is like the deep lying intelligence that is rarely used by an individual in the right time. It is just like our shadow to us. It follows step by step and path by path.

The time is like the age of an individual who guards the direction, his time and brings out the best of opportunity to score goals of his life. If you can’t finish the game in a specific time then you might get another few chance to prove yourself as like extra 15 minutes too crucial for a team.


Evolution within us is the cause of our own time and experience. The defender is the same who has the ability to change the game in the field.The term loner does not define that an individual is alone instead he plays defense and forward. He is the disrupter who can stop you to score the goals. An individual should be loner to find his target in this life.

The discipline is inside us like the refry stays inside the field. He can control and he can punish. He is the witness of the game. He punishes the player by giving red and yellow cards. The more you are disciplined, the more you are polished. The quality of dribble you show in the field is the quality of goal you score on the net. The quality of an individual is exactly the same to his work and deeds.Perfection is the boundaries of the field that an individual should maintain. The goals are the achievements as like the goals scored by the players in the field of football.

Similarly As per our human belief, an individual has to pass through hell or heaven depending upon the quality of deeds he did in the world.  A player finds heaven when he watches crowd shouting for him after scoring a goal and a hell when he misses the opportunity to make one.That’s why life is like a sport, not only football but any game that you like but challenges an individual must take to overcome as the sportsman does. Sometimes you may win, sometimes you lose and sometimes the world wins over you but be a sport, be a sportsman. So, always smile and shake hands with the challenges of life. Just play up !
