Football is everything

Football indeed, is the best sport in the world, and it´s quite common that politicians, actors or phylosophers explain their ideas with a brief comparison to the sport created by the Englishmen in the 19th century. This first match was something totally new, totally different, even though, the Incas, in the 10th century already played it.

Football, in fact, can be related to anything, from a common family problem, to flirting advices and that, my dear readers, is what gives succes to football. Any one, from a poor African in Somalia, to a rich C.E.O in the States, can feel identified with this sport, and with the tactics been used in it. For instance, a guy, very timid wants to flirt with a girl. Our friend is called, Andres. Andres, isn´t a Messi in love, he can´t control the situations or think fast because he has no experience: this means he is just starting to practice at the "cantera" of the team. Of course, love isn´t a team thing, but, if you know how to control the ball, make a good pass, a godd move or evade the enemies, it is quite possible, that you score a goal. And, in fact, a goal is what your thinking it is. But, maintain focus, football gives you the ability to react to situations you have never imagined, situations that require of a great concentration and a fast-thought.

On the other hand, football, describes politics, politicians and, international affairs. I mean, you can use football to show a dumbass how the world works without talking about difficult terms like budget, sovereighnity, United Nations, etc. I remember once a president said, that he was going to hand out some football balls just for the guerrilla members to see what they are loosing in the jungle. The idea of the government, taking into account the Fifa u-20 world cup was going to take place in Colombia, was to show them that leaving the FARC was a better choice, because they would be free, at their homes, watching the matches. Football is full of lies, a player falls to the ground just to see if the referee is going to grant him a  penalty kick, or just a foul. And, in fact, politicians gave that same mentality. They lie to us in order to be granted with some priviledges like a very big salary or to steal our money.
  
A third aspect is the use of football for diverse commercials. Once, in the TV, a commercial affirmed: "Saque el tabaco de su vida, de taquito" (Take from your life tabacco with a taco). It is quite important how football allow people to be represented, to feel, identified.

Finally, I believe football is an essential part of humans´ lives, it is the only sport where you cry, suffer, shout, feel happy in just 90 minutes, the only sport that makes people feel some type of nationality and, most of all, the only sport that has given to 7 billions, an activity to share with someone.
