Football & Basketball

Football
Sports is one of my biggest passion in life. Since i was a kid, i always interested with an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against others. Sports I love the most is football. I falling in love at the first sight with football. It all started when my uncle from Netherlands came to my house in 1988 and he was so excited when he was watching and supporting Netherlands Football team competes on Euro 88. By that time i actually really didn't know anything about football. But somehow watching 11 men against 11 men kicking a ball and try to scored a goal gets me excited. 

It was 88 Netherlands Football Team that makes me fall in love with football. They played fantastic football, score fantastic goals and become champions at Euro 88 Tournament. Marco Van Basten was my first football heroes. I always loves and gets excited when he played and scored a goal. That was the moment that I fall in love with football. Since then, I am supporting Netherlands national team. Since then I always playing football and I also always watched football and read everything about it. Since then football is becoming part of my life.

After Euro 88 ends, no more international football match. After that tournament all players from national teams get back to their club for leagues matches. Van Basten back to his club in Italy, AC Milan. It turns out that Van Basten is not the only Netherlands player in AC Milan. Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard were also in the same club. Knowing that there were three Netherlands players playing for AC Milan, it makes me so easy to fall in love with this club. Since then AC Milan is becoming part of my life. Until now i still loves this club and proudly said that I am MIlanisti and always support AC Milan.

Basketball 
In early 90's one of local television broadcast NBA games. NBA is a basketball league in United States. When i first watched it, i was pretty interested. This game is very interesting. It was fun to watched a player puts the ball into the hoops. The other things that made me excited to watch basketball was the score. Yep in basketball they scored a lot and for me that's fun. 

In the beginning it was just fun sport for me, until I saw Michael Jordan. Because of him, i falling in love with basketball. Michael Jordan made basketball looks beautiful, exciting and entertaining. I never imagine before that a human can fly so high beautifully and dunk the ball into the basket. What he was doing in the court that time really amazed me. Since then i had an affair with basketball. I love this game.
