Whatever deeds they do-good or evil-of such they will be the heirs.

They are non-human words and deeds, really counter-human.
The fans can bring a better match by getting more involved. So when a match is over, they might be talking about how good the match was, but little do they know, that great match was elevated because of them.
Big words do not smite like war-clubs, Boastful breath is not a bow-string, Taunts are not so sharp as arrows, Deeds are better things than words are, Actions mightier than boastings.

Love is indicated by deeds (and not by words)
