I am one of millions of football fans with a passion for the World Game. I played football and basketball since I was a kid, and always loved both sports (among others). I believe that football thrives beyond the English Premier League, Italian Serie A, French Ligue, Spanish Primera Liga, German Bundesliga, and countless Cups around the World. If I am not writing, you can find me in the field or the court kicking, juggling, dribbling, and kicking like there's no tomorrow.

If you have any questions or insights about my blogs, please do not hesitate to e-mail me.

The truth in football is actually amazing. Short players have an ideal height that enable them to succeed in the game. The height of short players make them low to ground, thus creating a powerful balance. They are equipped with a strong center of gravity that make them strong in the field. Also, it is tough to knock off the ball from short players due to their quickness and agility. The shortest players in football move with amazing speed. Players such as Lionel Messi, Phillip Lahm, Theo Walcott, Diego Maradona, and Romario have proven that football is indeed a sport for the short.
