A very subjective look into AWFC

We are all trying to figure out life. As people, as fans, as footballers, as musicians, as students, as teachers, as employees… you name it. During our journey we discover things about ourselves as it relates to what works, what doesn’t, how we relate to people and more importantly, how we relate to ourselves.

In that quest we inevitably get to the figurative slap in the face that is realizing that self control is paramount to self reflection, to empathy and of course, to interact with other people.

Self control is easier for some people than for others. Sometimes people with little self control find self control when they need it the most, and the total opposite also happens, and as a football fan I am absolutely in both camps.

Things matter to me more than they should and things that should matter to me absolutely don’t and that dynamic is very interesting to me and if you are confused and you are lost and you have no idea about what I’m talking about, don’t worry. I don’t think I make sense either.

I get triggered by things and I know I shouldn’t but I do. For example… soccerdonna, who I don’t even follow, posed the question/game of start, bench or sell? applied to Kim, Frida and Pelova.

Why does that bother me so much? It’s just a silly game? Why do I care about a post? why do I care about what people think? Well, personally I thought the framing of it was pretty absurd and also… it’s just a game.

Of course I didn’t comment but what I wanted to say, among many things, is that lumping them together to a degree caaaaan imply that they play the same position or they are equally as good.

It bothers me because to even pose the question that Kim Little should be anything but a starter is pretty damn insulting to me and it makes me think that the people that ask these things are children that have absolutely no ability to see someone legendary in front of them.

This is my way of commenting without commenting and my way to carefully, and with self preservation in mind, express my disapproval not about the post itself but about myself and my reaction.

It’s silly.

The answer is also very easy and clear. I don’t know what people are smoking and if you hide behind “no player is bigger than the club” aka Kim, and think, let alone say we should bench or sell her because you think others are anywhere near her… I’m telling you now, right this second, that we would need to buy 3 world class players to come close to rivaling what Kim Little does on the pitch and they would fall short.

For the millionth time…. appreciate what we have because life comes at you fast and you might regret not doing that.
