Soccer is more than just getting the ball into the net. It has created massive rivalries and affected nations, but more importantly, it is a beautiful game that has created bonds upon people that will last a lifetime.

Soccer has created a huge impact on the world, with more than 270 million players participating. When a world cup game is on, you will see loyal and compassionate fans fill up a whole street watching a “futbol” game everywhere except America.

Some of these world cup rivalries have lasted hundreds of years and have even affected politics, such as the conflict between Honduras and El Salvador in 1969 that sparked border disputes and class tensions that set the state war.

A world cup tournament is an event that only happens every 4 years, so it is special for sure, and some players only have the potential to play in it once. In short, the World Cup is a big deal.
