We all have a weakness. And a major chunk of this world’s population feels that tug when someone mentions 4-3-3. Gets goosebumps when a sublime pass is made. There is a feeling of pleasure when an orb rolls on the grass as a result of conjuring a trick as much as intentionally executing the laws of the physical world. Football, one realizes is more than a game.
