Campeones Campeones Ole Ole Ole

This is it. This is the turning point in my life. I finally found the one thing I'm passionate about and really want to do with my life. Football, futbol, soccer, fussball, pilka nozna, calcio, whatever it's called this word symbolizes it all. However, it's more than just a sport or game that I grew up watching and playing. There's a depth to this phenomenon. There's no boundaries. It's taken a form that goes beyond the simple idea of a game. What I'm implying is that this is what we as people throughout history have tried so hard to capture. It's the simplest thing we all desire in life. Connection. Football connects us with who we are and where we come from. It's such a generic thing to say, but so complex once you really examine how much people invest in it. I can ramble on for days about what it means to me and how it affects my life, but then no one would care to spend so much time reading this blog. Therefore, I only want to make one point. Whatever club or country we support we as people can always say that football makes you get out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary. Football lets us enter our inner selfs, so we can experience adventure and risk at our control. The football match and everything around it provides a theme or feeling that promotes our inner self's adventure. Football is that crusade. It's the Robin Hoods of today. It's adventure and the most intense emotion felt by those who really support their team through everything. However silly or extreme people think I am for loving football, Deep down I will always be a fan. Even if the team I support is relegated to near extinction I will still be singing. Campeones, campeones, ole, ole, ole because I found the thing in this world that makes me feel like a champion and that is the best treasure I have ever found. To anyone who stumbles upon this blog I say thank you for first taking the time to read it. Second, I hope this blog helps other fans find passion in football because it's more than I can describe in one post. All I can say is eeeeaaaooo, eeeeaaaaooo for more than just 90 minutes.
