Every little kid plays wants to be like Ronaldo, Maradona, Pele, Valderrama, Beckham, or Roberto Carlos. Futbol is not as complicated (money for equipment) as other major sport. For soccer all you need is a ball and the goal can be anything sometimes you don't even need a goal. Futbol is so big that when your national team plays everything stops, even the churches close during game time. The world cup is the biggest event in the sport, is when the best teams of the world get to fight for the title of World Champions. Even if your country does not make to the final, you still want to see the greatest teams battle it out. Futbol is a passion.

They're so enthusiastic about it. It's almost like it's their life. We americans have a long way to go to catch up. Poor Beckham, he tried. I wish I could go to FIFA in '10. Last time I rooted for the Italians. I don't have a favorite club really, I mostly just watch whatever game is on. Mostly on the spanish channels. since my soccor channel disappeared! erg I love watching Europeans play football. They're so enthusiastic about it. It's almost like it's their life.

I'm American (born and raised) and thought I didn't like American football, until I visited Australia; where they play rugby. I loved it! It's basically football without all the protective gear and ugly costumes. It just has to do with a difference in culture. Why do they eat deep fried tarantulas in some cultures, and in America we wouldn't dare eat those creepy creatures, yet we'll chomp on a lobster (sea roach) in a heartbeat? One of the reasons that Americans may not like soccer is that it seems to homoerotic, like wrestling. America is still quite homophobic. With soccer, you see guys hugging each other, helping each other stretch, kissing each other, etc.. No, but for some reason our culture is just different.

Being fan (of Man. Utd./Portugal) its nice to get that rush to see your team move up (in the standings) or win against a bitter rival. 3) The legends/soon-to-be-legends : Pele, Maradona/Ronaldinho, Kaka, etc. They make it seem more beautiful (match/sport) with their tricks or play or for some - the legacy they left behind 4) Fans - 'course you have the legends but fans make it happen . If you're watching it on tv- you can feel the craziness, the excitement and If you're like me - you'd jump up and down hoping your team would score and scream like crazy when they do, vice-versa. (but I wouldn't expect you to) 5) Love of the sport!!!! : its practically what fans breath, eat, sleep, (you get the picture). If you don't love it - there is no hope blogging about it. 1) England, Spain & Italy : these countries have major leagues that most Footballers want to go to and there's great action in the matches here.(others would be – Germany, France, Scotland (I think)
