How I Fell In Love With You
I've had an on/off relationship with soccer since the world cup in 2006. Finally, about a year ago we decided to go steady and now we very much in love.
During the big champions like World Cups and European Cups I was a passionate follower. I didn't miss a game from Euro 2008, I was in hysterics when Greece beat Portugal in 2004, and I cried when France lost in 2006. But my real relationship started about a year ago. I walked home from school and decided to ignore my homework and watch TV. It happened to be a Wednesday, a Champions League day. I came across ESPN and to my surprise they were showing a Manchester United game. I sat there and watched the entire match without moving and I screamed at the end of the game when Manchester won.
That same weekend I watched every single soccer game I could get my eyes on. I followed United wherever they went, I cheered when Berbatov scored, I frowned upon Ronaldo and laughed at Rooney's child-like adorableness. Before every soccer game I got really nervous, there were butterflies flying around in my stomach. I couldn't sleep before the Champions League final. I cried when Manchester lost, I laughed at Ronaldo, I adored Messi- the enemy.
Then I realized I was in love with a soccer team, and not just any soccer team, one of the best teams in the world (obviously not the best, I would have to give that spot to Barca, hands down). They made me laugh, they made me cry, they made me scream with joy, they made me read book about them, they made my eyes sparkle whenever I talked about them (my friends told me this, I was a little creeped out). It felt weird obsessing over more than twenty men that way...
After United, I will have to go to Liverpool. Even though I don't like to admit this, they are my second favorite team. I know that United and Pool don't mix, but I can't help it! Their team is just so... so good looking! Gerard and Torres in the same team :O *faints*
Anyway, I started this blog so I can write to the imaginary people that are reading this and ramble about my favorite thing on this world- soccer.
Aww he is just adorable :)
Look at them?! Don't you just feel like giving them a giant hug? So much cuteness should not be allowed in one team!
"I'm not crying *sob* there is something in my eye! *sob* MOMMY!"
