Passion

I got to go to my first Premier League game... Ever... Liverpool vs West Ham at Upton Park

Words cannot describe the emotions that go through these games... Passion.

The Agony when a goal is scored against your team... The Elation and Excitement of scoring a goal... The Loudness of unified chants... The ever changing emotion when a game swings one way to the other... The sound of Crunching tackles... The soft Touch of the ball... The strength and agility of players in the air... The Pure pace of the players and the Speed at which they think and play is unreal... This is the reason that football (the real one) is the best sport in the world... Passion.

The best way to describe the experience and the game is actually in the songs of the two respective teams. Liverpool went up 1-0 thanks to a brilliant Glen Johnson goal. Then West Ham went up 2-1 right before half time thanks to a PK and a Stevie G ownie only for Liverpool to come back and win 3-2 in the last 10 minutes of the game... 

"I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air. They fly so high, they reach the sky, and like my dreams they fade and die!"

"You'll Never Walk Alone." 

Passion.
