I was looking through the calcio spot, and I read the descrizione "one ball to unite the world", so I felt like Scrivere the first soapbox for the spot...

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

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

My preferito 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 calcio is truly the sport the unites the world. In most countries calcio is not just a sport, it's a passion.

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

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


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