FreeKick your Ass!!.

First there were feet and then there was football. For the weaker feet there are EA Sports and Foosball.
The strong are the footballers, not just their members. The players get "Life". They play life on condensed scale of ninety minutes.They are born, with the kickoff and dies really tired when the last whistle blows.Isn't that how life should be??//.
You get out there,play your heart out and then lay dead on  the ground with the assurance that, that all has been done and the last bit of vitality has been put to action.

Then there are those ups n downs which  runs parallel in both life and football ...

There are men, celebrating, after the goal, which might have asked for all the practice and games and time  they did on the green fields.
There are men missing opportunities and being cussed by the crowd...
The same men, after the ball clearing the keeper, jubilantly doing a back-flip and the crowd going mad, shouting their name... 
what they did now differently, was giving a touch to the ball with more heart and at a different angle...
Being booed at,  and having devotees, are all part of the game...


But then, what would be a goal in football, imply in life, if we agree upon this parallel thinking?
what can be seen in life, as parallel to a Free kick, they have in football ?
and Throw-ins ?.
Penalty shoot outs. what would penalty shoot-outs map onto in real life ?.


Hopefully, this appeal as an interesting line of thought for you, and you have some insights to scribble.
I've got some vague ideas such as, a Free kick in the football game, that is "your life", would mean your ass is getting kicked and you cannot do much about it. ;)
It's just an undeveloped, over the head view of the parallelism. 
Hope, you! my friend, can have more fun with this imagined parallelism.
Joga Bonito, Amigo  ;) .. hehe.

Nice comparison. Well written too.

If freekick for you is getting your ass kicked, for me, it is kicking your ass :P
