Football brings hope, Football shuns meanness


“Aye Zizi, we love you oh Zizi! Aye Tondo, we love you oh Tondo. That’s the fact”,
was the song that flowed from the lips of jubilant Liberians after The 3-0 win over Gambia.

Besides the amusement associated with football, this game brings to bear a unique philosophy that offers hopes.

We at Liberiansoccer.com join millions of fans in sharing this great sentiment that indeed football is a way of life and the thrills it generates are indeed beyond measure.

This game, which attracts millions of people regardless of status is simply not kicking the object and getting pay. The warmth and responsive exchanges that take place among players of diverse backgrounds and the excitements that follow are what matters.

Meanness, greed and self-centered people don’t play football because these characters are equivalent to indiscipline and there is nothing as non-cooperation in football.

Liberia’s football hopes

Though football must be separated from state politics, Liberian football fans suppose that the new political treaty in their country is a right way of reshaping their game.

Hopes!  An indeed hope because Liberia has always stuck to the game as a way of encircling this philosophy that continues to penetrate inflexible walls.

Arguably, thousands of Liberian football fans argue that their team would have qualified for Tunisia '2004 had the country not seen war or repulsive indiscipline during the latter part of the qualifiers.

But be as it may, re-thinking the best, and allowing gentleness to supersede self-righteousness would re-shape Liberia's football and thus strength the hopes of those playing the game.

Youth dreams

A naturally deprived country forced to embrace 14 years of wars that have withered the entire nation, most Liberian youth knows no other sport apart from football.

In this another beginning, these young people will expect much more, and must be given the energy to reap their full potentials.

George Weah, however, gave Liberia’s youths a lasting impression of how football is able to transform the live of an individual, his family, and of course, his friends.

This lifelong impression and subsequent by the effects the wars have on the youths, football has become the resort of the strong-minded few.

Weah who as has always promised the best for Liberia's football will have to set his priorities as the crow flies because his contribution to Liberia’s football is nostalgia.

Last word

Personally, Liberian players would be able to exploit into Europe and other places at rapid speed if they are willing to surrender selfishness and meanness.

It may not be a proper way of getting around it, and the local football authority might be defective, but the players themselves add to the woes.

Uniqueness and football are one, they are the same, and therefore its participants must be unique. How many Liberian players have managers - FIFA Agents and what is the average year a Liberian player have played professional football apart from Weah.

Like Weah, the custodian of nearly all Liberian players that have played in Europe, how many of those beneficiaries have been able to push former teammates.
