Some games contain class overtones Golf, tennis, or even cricket are commonly regarded as elite pursuits, while football is regarded as more working-class. Football is played by anybody, but unlike golf or tennis, there is no dress code: only the feet, even though barefooted. Football has made foreign legends out of players like Maradona, who learned the basics of the game in an impoverished Buenos Aires neighborhood. He was known as the "Monarch of Unconventional Football," and was known for his impressive ball control as he barreled through the opposition towards the target. Rafa Paz, a former Sevilla teammate, said, "You could say he might be from street football." He played keepy-uppies with a tinfoil ball. He rendered a brick seem to be round.”

He was the working-class guy, like Pele and George Best, inspiring millions from the shanties with his brilliant footy magic. “Football is the dance of the public,” renowned Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich once said.

The 'Dirty Dozen,' the 12 clubs who wanted to break away from corporate football to create their elite team, ignored this along the way. The tactics can be played with the mind, but the heart is what counts. That is the viewers' hearts. You are not permitted to take them for a spin. Their feelings, engagement, and zeal are more important.

The plans for a Super League of Europe's biggest soccer clubs were sketched out in complete secrecy, but when they were eventually revealed, it was as if the fans had been struck with a sledgehammer. It was a body blow to the minds of innumerable football fans whose love for their favorite stars had hit new heights, and were shell-shocked by this blast of a declaration. There was anger, anxiety, and anguish. The outpouring of rage from the stands reached a fever pitch, reverberating to the locker rooms and even prominent political groups.

Ex-Manchester United midfielder Eric Cantona provided a rather relevant comment. “The fans are the most essential thing about football, and must be honored,” he added. Did these major league clubs even poll their supporters to see what they feel about this notion? Regrettably, no. And it's a pity.”

Twelve of Europe's leading soccer clubs, including those from England, announced a breakaway league on Sunday, but after being chastised for their behavior for 48 hours, the six English clubs pulled out on Tuesday, sabotaging their plan.

The league was soon in complete disarray. It was interesting to see how people reacted. The cheers for the festivities were louder than the cheers for a goal. Why was the Super League established in the first place? The argument was that it would increase sales for the top soccer teams, allowing them to allocate more funds to the remainder of the game.

The sport's governing bodies, other franchises, and supporter associations all dismissed this, claiming that the league would simply bring more money to the pockets of top clubs. J P Morgan, a world pioneer in financial services, was to finance the League with a $4.2 billion grant to be distributed by the League's 12 pioneering clubs. That did not occur. Provided the blunder, the temptation of riches was unavoidable. Any of England's elite clubs are made to eat humble pie. The path from the breakaway to the breaking point was too fast to be sustainable.

It was one of the unusual cases where even British ministers agreed to oppose the change. Boris Johnson announced that his government would consider measures to halt the proposed breakaway European Super League. Football triumphed in the end. Fans' class disparities were allowed to bury financial benefits. Passion is important: in football, as in love, the heart will always win.
