Talking about football

Hello everyone.Though I don't know whether you love football or not, I am really a loyal (loyalty is a noun, loyal an adjective) fan of football. As all my friends know, quite often I just watch football matches. I ,however,had never played football before in my life. As a new football court was built by our company, I thought it was possible for me to play football on the court.Today I tried ,and it was really a pleasure to play football with my colleagues though my skills are poor. While we are talking about football ,not only I but also many other people love football because of the memories of/from (their) childhood when the player we loved impressed us. Time is flying ,our love of football will not disappear. On the contrary, it will drive us to come back to the court.I believe that my skill is getting better and better by practicing. This is the reason why I choose (choice is a noun, choose a verb) to play football rather than basketball,even though I am good at basketball .
