Amidst the many conflicts, animosities, wars, apartheids, and prejudice,
Our world, divided by nations, falls silent and becomes coherent every four years.
It comes together at a nexus to witness a beautiful game.
It is a game that has won the attention of all religions, colors, and ethnicities.
It is a game that is not racist.
It does not see wealth or prestige.
It does not see in black and white, but in the beauty of skill and heart.
It is not forced. Instead, it flows.
It allows seemingly inconsequential nations, unheard of before, to be listened to and become known to the world.
It allots each nation time on the world stage to perform their unique talent in front of the greatest of all audiences.
It is a game that unites.
The world's game.
A language, unique, but spoken by every person.
...It is the beautiful game.
I thought this suits the tagline : "One ball to unite the world."

Picture I took in an Argentinean Soccer game!
|
I was looking through the soccer spot, and I read the description "one ball to unite the world", so I felt like writing the first soapbox for the spot...
Here's my "soccer story"...
I am from Argentina, and here soccer is not just a sport, it's a kind of lifestyle. Everyone has their team (many times you "inherit" your team by family, others you just become a fan later) but everyone has a soccer club to support.
I have been to a few soccer games, and seeing my country play is one of the best experiences ever!
My favorite players today are Juan Roman Riquelme *because he's an amazing playmaker* and Lionel Messi *seeing him play is incredible! and he's only 20!!*... But there are a LOT others that I like as well, but this could go on forever!
My whole family is a fan of "River Plate" and so am I...but, strangely enough, I also like Boca (I know weird, they are rivals, but I like it cause of Riquelme haha) and I'm also a fan of FC Barcelona in the spanish league.
