What is football? Different people and countries can define football in different ways. Every definition is correct, but it is incomplete and there will be differences. I think football is a polygon. A still football is an inanimate object. Once it is rolled up, it is like a 72-year-old the Monkey King, which can play different roles and functions at different times. Football is a game played by people; In sports, football is highly competitive; Football is the winner in the competition; In social life, football is culture; Under the condition of market economy, football is an industry; On the international stage, football is politics; In wartime, football is peaceful; In peacetime, football is war. Football can be an entertainment for ordinary people, a wrestling match between countries and a card in the hands of politicians in international relations. In today's world, apart from war, there are almost no sports and social activities, which are as convincing, appealing and appealing as dumb football. The diversity of football has indeed left unlimited imagination and energy for the world. What does football stand for? Football represents the spirit of fair competition, the expectation of human peace, and the comprehensive quality and cultural heritage of a nation. Football has been deeply rooted in the fertile soil of social life since its birth, but it is also football that embodies different football culture and football spirit. Anyone who is familiar with football can easily find and feel that football rolling in international football is not only the competition and contest of football technical level between countries, but also the exchange and collision of national culture and national spirit. I don't know if this sentence is correct, but I know that there is football like football, football culture and football spirit, which may be a more reliable judgment. What is football culture? There are great differences in the understanding and development ideas of football and the football culture formed in countries around the world. However, in international football, many developed countries have the same understanding of football in three aspects: first, football is an important means of national education, especially quality education for young people. Secondly, football can arouse and stimulate people's sense of belonging, honor and patriotism. Thirdly, football is the catharsis bucket and safety valve of social emotions. An official in charge of sports in the British government once said humorously: "In Britain, if more people enter the football field, fewer people will March and sit in front of the government;" The higher the shouting on the football field, the lower the decibel of scolding the government; Football matches can also greatly reduce the social crime rate. These contributions of football are irreplaceable by the government. "
