Sports is an important part of cultural tradition in Great Britain. Two
especially well liked national sports are tennis and football. For
football fans, nothing can compare with the excitement produced
every four-years by the World Championship, an event which is watched
world-wide. This event is not only a possibility to
watch top class football, it is also an opportunity to see some of the most
well known players in the world, celebrities in their own right. For
tennis fans, Wimbledon, which takes place every June, is the event
to pay attention .This championship tennis competition is not only a sporting
event – it is a culture event. It is not uncommon for tennis fans to
take a small holiday so that they can watch the matches undisturbed.
While some tennis lovers watch the games in the comfort of their living-rooms,
others are happy to brave the unpredictable June weather to watch
the games played live. There is some discussion about whether the enormous
wages paid to professional sportsmen are extremely high, but for many
fans, the big pleasure received from watching a true professional in
action is worth any price.
