Football is life

Some people say that football is a sport invented by British in which Germany always wins. Others think that footballis a sport for enjoying with friends and for winning. But there are also those who believe that there are 22 guys running after a ball.

Football is different from the rest of sports. Football is art, show, emotion, intrigue, happiness, pride, endeavor, strain, faith, passion, joy,hope, united people, jitters, madness, exaltation, friendship, health, fantasy turned into reality …

It does not matter if you are closer to the player who has scored, or you live in the same city or country, or you live at 10,000 kilometers far.It does not matter the nationality, the color of skin, your age or your gender. The most important is to score a goal.
