Topic of my choice: Soccer

Soccer or Futbol as we call it in Argentina, is our second religion. Since we are born and throughout all our life we, directly or indirectly, watch, listen, talk, play, etc, about soccer. It is the common topic to talk about every single weekend and the first couple days of the week when we go back to work or school. To give a bigger picture of how much we love soccer I will describe a few places and instruments that we use to play soccer. Places: street, patio, classroom, kitchen, bedroom, shower, tennis courts, volleyball courts, basketball courts, in sand, in snow, in grass, on the roof, churches. Elements: (consider that they are all shapped somehow to something that looks like a soccer ball and can be kicked around.) paper, bottles, bottle caps, cut board, socks, old t-shirts, plastic bags, ballons, any kind of sports' ball, tape, rocks, etc, etc. As a matter of fact if you ask a boy in Argentina what they want for christmas or their birthday as a gift, 85% will pick a soccer ball.
