I was looking through the サッカー spot, and I read the 説明 "one ball to unite the world", so I felt like 書く the first soapbox for the spot...
Here's my "soccer story"...
I am from Argentina, and here サッカー is not just a sport, it's a kind of lifestyle. Everyone has their team (many times あなた "inherit" your team によって family, others あなた just become a ファン later) but everyone has a サッカー club to support.
I have been to a few サッカー games, and seeing my country play is one of the best experiences ever!
My お気に入り 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 ファン 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 ファン 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 サッカー is truly the sport the unites the world. In most countries サッカー is not just a sport, it's a passion.
I have been surrounded によって football my whole life, and for anyone who comes from a country where this sport is so huge, it becomes もっと見る than just a sport...even if あなた don't play it! :S
It's about rooting for your team, cheering for them no matter what...the feeling of being a true サッカー ファン cannot compare to anything else, which is why サッカー is truly the "world's お気に入り sport" !
So I was wondering what are other people's "soccer/football stories" are...
