I was looking through the 축구 spot, and I read the 설명 "one ball to unite the world", so I felt like 글쓰기 the first soapbox for the spot...

Here's my "soccer story"...
I am from Argentina, and here 축구 is not just a sport, it's a kind of lifestyle. Everyone has their team (many times 당신 "inherit" your team 의해 family, others 당신 just become a 팬 later) but everyone has a 축구 club to support.

I have been to a few 축구 games, and seeing my country play is one of the best experiences ever!

My 가장 좋아하는 players today are Juan Roman Riquelme *because he's an amazing playmaker* and Lionel Messi *seeing him play is incredible! and he's only 20!!*... But there are a LOT others that I like as well, but this could go on forever!

My whole family is a 팬 of "River Plate" and so am I...but, strangely enough, I also like Boca (I know weird, they are rivals, but I like it cause of Riquelme haha) and I'm also a 팬 of FC Barcelona in the spanish league.

When the World Cup is going on and Argentina is playing, the country stops. No matter what time it is, if we are supposed to be working, studying, etc...nothing matters anymore, it's all about the game.

I have lived in a few different countries and I realized that 축구 is truly the sport the unites the world. In most countries 축구 is not just a sport, it's a passion.

I have been surrounded 의해 football my whole life, and for anyone who comes from a country where this sport is so huge, it becomes 더 많이 than just a sport...even if 당신 don't play it! :S

It's about rooting for your team, cheering for them no matter what...the feeling of being a true 축구 팬 cannot compare to anything else, which is why 축구 is truly the "world's 가장 좋아하는 sport" !


So I was wondering what are other people's "soccer/football stories" are...
