Football

A stupid thing to many people. I mean, what’s the fun behind 22 guys running after a ball? Not even I can explain what the fuzz is all about, but all I can say is that the excitement and emotion of seeing your football team playing a game isn’t comparable to any other thing! Not in matters of intensity but because of the kind of emotion you experience.

I didn’t understand much of it when I was a little boy, I didn’t even play. But one day I understood that football is capable of forging a bond in people, reuniting them in the same feeling. It’s like a war where no one dies. It’s the fun of measuring yourself with an other, without having to leave your sofa or at much cheering at the stadium.

My team, Universidad de Chile, current champion of Copa Sudamericana and the national tournament, is now in a struggle because they have to recover from an upside. Now they have to win 2 – 0 to Boca Juniors to force the penalty shots in order to get to the final game of Copa Libertadores.
