I was looking through the sepakbola spot, and I read the keterangan "one ball to unite the world", so I felt like menulis the first soapbox for the spot...

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

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

My favorit 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 fan 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 fan 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 sepakbola is truly the sport the unites the world. In most countries sepakbola is not just a sport, it's a passion.

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

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


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