The sport itself is beautiful.
Anyone can play the sport. It doesn't matter if you're scrawny and 5'2". It doesn't matter if you're 6'7" and have biceps the size of my head. It's such a great game for anyone to play. You don't even need proper equipment. You can play at the beach, with a volleyball, barefoot, and have your goalposts be two backpacks. You can play by yourself, just by juggling the ball. It's easily the world's sport, other than America. Which is a true shame because most people are so ignorant that they take soccer as just "another" sport. That is the biggest lie I could ever hear. It's not just a game, it's a passion.
Sports change us as humans. They can break down the barriers of language, race, creed and colour. We can all enjoy sports together, regardless of what separates us as people. Nothing has demonstrated the equality sports can provide more than football
