Don't just set goals, score them!




Everybody knows something about soccer, could be just a little, but I think I'm pretty good with my knowledge about it. I growth in a family too many related with this sport. My father played when he was young in leagues of “Cerro Barón” in the Valparaíso city, also my uncles and my father’s uncles played too. It’s a family sport. They were talented players, but not too much for being professionals. I also play soccer, even although is a sport played mostly by men.

My favorite team in Chile is Colo Colo, is the best one, although they don’t have the best supporters, they have twenty nine national championships and the Libertadores Cup. Sometimes I go to the stadium to see it, especially if they play the final. I see other countries soccer games, but just for entertainment, to enjoy the show.

The next week the Soccer World Cup will start, the Chilean team will play, but I’m sadly disappointed of it. Six years ago I was a fervent supporter of this team, but the last three years has been difficult, it's hard to believe that they could achieve important things. I’m happy of that they play again a world cup, but my hopes are not too big.

Is like Love. Sometimes I want to believe again, because they made me happy years ago, but it was painful to see them lose so many times. Now I’ll just see the matches like and spectator, not like a supporter, even although I enjoy screaming for my beloved team. Soccer and Love has a lot of things in common, maybe that’s the reason to be my favorite sport.

Hello mrk of my life. I believe that soccer it´s like love too. First, in the play there are a lot of people, and usually the hit each other. Second, we have other people that try to say us what to do, but we never heard them. Third, there are men that have to pay to get it or watch it. Fourth, many people leave the soccer when they are not so older, but they cannot do what the other are waiting (1313). So, my advise is that you must get goals while you can kick the ball.
See you soon!

Soccer is not my favorite sport. My father doesn’t like it; he prefers another sport for example tennis, cycling, etc. My grandfather always loved Universidad de Chile team.
He always talked to me about national and international soccer, but I really don’t like it.
However, my boyfriend loves soccer, his favorite team is Wanderers because he lives in Valparaiso and this team is from that city.
He likes to watch soccer, play soccer and go to stadium. He plays soccer with friends of his University and he watches this kind of program on television every Sunday.
Sometimes he invites me but I prefer to go shopping.
See you soon!
