How we did the maths
 

Yes, you're right. Football is a game and not a language. But kicking a ball around is a great way of talking to people who might not understand you. There are 6,000 languages in the world. Football speaks every one of them.

    Taking a ball away with you

    I've never been very keen on the idea that you should take pens and sweets and stuff to developing countries when you visit. The image of "the everso generous westerner" lavishing sweets on kids seems a bit outdated.

    But playing a bit of footy with local kids...well that seems much more balanced.

    And these wee blighters in ethiopia were way better than me.     18 September 2009, 15:10

    When the World Cup was in Germany, me and my friedns had the opportunity to carry the FIFA flag in the stadium for on game. Even though it was just a little unimportant game: Iran vs. Angola, it was still amazing. The goal keeper of Angola even gave his sweatshirt to one of my friends... 03 May 2010, 18:25

    The Beautiful Game

    I have played football most of my life and am absolutely in love with the sport. I have played with so many different people and in countless different places, including abroad in Brasil, Mexico, and France. I love the game and look forward to playing it whenever the opportunity arises. 27 December 2009, 19:37

    Speaking of footbal....

    Weirdly, I've already done this. :] There was a school trip to Breast in France and since the class I was in was mainly boys there were mainly boys on the trip so there were about six footballs that were brought along, the boys being football crazy as they were. (The excuse was that may lose one and then die of not being able to play football. -_-') Anyway, since there was a beach near the place we were staying our teacher took us down there every evening to play football/build sandcastles/whatever you do on a beach at the age of 11. By the end of the week we had played about 4 or 5 teams all either being French or staying in France for a school trip themselves. It was wicked playing against different cultures - it felt like we were representing our country in the World Championship. ^_^ Okay, maybe a bit of an exaggeration but it did feel like that and ended up having fun as well as making a few new friends. :] Awesome stuff.
