So your friends are hanging out to watch the Soccer game; and you’ve decided to tag along. Everyone gets comfortable at a pub booth with a good angle to view the TV. An hour later, you realize the teams have been kicking a ball around the field and the score is still 0-0. That’s when you are reminded why you never got into the sport. Here’s a guide to hanging out with your Soccer Fanatic friends.
It’s More About a Worldwide Cultural Representation
The reason Soccer is popular among its fanatics is because they are rooted in their family heritages. Whenever a country wins, it’s a representation that their culture is dominant among others on a WORLDWIDE scale. For example, if Colombia beats Venezuela in a soccer match it pretty much means their food is better, their women are hotter and they will have more economic prosperity.
The Soccer Fanatic Loves it When its “Almost” a Goal
It may not seem like it, but here is what the sport is mostly about. An excitement fills the air when the ball gets close to the goal. That’s when the players truly demonstrates his stamina. Take a close look at the players face when he is dedicated to passing the defenses of the other team. Their brows are furrowed and its a moment of life and death. Put yourself in their position and you can start getting into the intensity of the game.
When a Goal Actually Happens
The bar erupts in a rage of excitement when a goal actually (and finally) happens. Even close to violence when the referee raises a flag after a goal. Take this opportunity to scream GOOOOOOOOOAL along with your comrades and your buzz will get a lot better after all that blood rushes to your head and you are short of breath.
Soak in the Culture
The excitement of soccer fanatics will make their latin side come out. You can learn a few Spanish cuss words and take a glimpse at all the different forms of dialect in the language.
