The fifa world cup have already started and i am really excited. For those who doesn't know what the world cup is, i will tell you. Is a tournament in which the best countries of each continent take part of it and try to reach the final. In this tournament there are 32 teams and they play a group stage of 4 teams and only the best 2 teams of each group qualify to the next round. And then the teams play a knockout match to qualify to the next round and so on. But, what really makes the world cup so important? Is the most awaited tournament for any football lover because is only every 4 years and that make this tournament special. Also there is a huge variety of people from different countries supporting their teams and celebrating all together trying to reach the goal of playing a world final. I really like Colombia to win the cup because they live the football in a very cheerful way and they are always happy even if they loose. Also i want colombia to win the cup because they have never won it before so it could be their first time, so that means something special. And you? what team do you support and why?
I’m sad that Chile dind’t get to go this year, so I haven’t been very interested in following the tournament. I like how sports bring so many people together. I agree that it would be nice that Colombia won, sportsmanship is very important, sadly there are teams who lack it.
ReplyDeletei was so excited about the tournament this year ,but when i knew that chile wasnt going to the there i was very sad and dissapointed. Because of that i decided to choose another country to support and believe in . This country is Portugal.
ReplyDeleteI find it very strange how men like football so much. I personally barely knew that the world cup was starting now and in fact, I was in doubt if Chile would be playing this year.
ReplyDeleteI think it is important that the media shows interest in sports like this because this improve people doing it and this will make Chile a country with less obility index.
It is great to live another world cup, the emotion that it bring is amazing, as we don’t play, we can focused on how other countries live it.
ReplyDeleteAlso you can watch the diversity in the stadiums as countries from al the continents so as a fan it is great to see how fans from other places lives football
Hi Cristián ! I think its great that even thought Chile couldn't make it, you and many other Chileans are still following the World Cup ! That really shows how sports are very important in our society and that we still love the game for what it is and not for who is playing it.
ReplyDeleteI really hope to see Chile in the next World Cup because its a great team and has a very passionate country supporting them!
I’m very disappointed because Chile didn’t classify for the world cup. It's impressive that everyone, especially men, are really in to the world cup supporting other countries although Chile isn't on it.
ReplyDeleteI don’t like to watch football games very much but if Chile was in the cup, I would have watched all the matches.
I love the World Cup! I think it's so nice when you get together with your friends and watch it, but this year we weren't able to do this because we did not classify. When I was 14 (the last World Cup) I said: I'm so excited for the next World Cup! I'm sure we are going to win it! But then we didn't classify and I got so angry because I had so much faith in us. But anyways, I still enjoy watching the other teams. I think this year Croatia is going to win.
ReplyDeleteI am very excited for the World Cup this year! I think it is an important event that includes countries from all parts of the worlds that can enjoy this cup in community. My favourite this year was Germany, but they have been eliminated from the first round. Now I am cheering France and Belgium, I think these two teams have a lot of potential and can win the cup this year.
ReplyDeleteThe world cup goes beyond soccer. It's a worldwide celebration and people come together and enjoy this sport as a social activity. I was sad when Chile didn't make it to the tournament, but there are so many games worth watching that it is still fun to stick to it. There are a couple countries that I feel very interested in, not because I want them to win necessarily, but because the final score can drastically change the whole scenario for the other countries that are still competing. I don’t want to jump into conclusions and name one country to win, but it’d be nice to bring the cup to south America this year.
ReplyDeleteI honestly really dislike soccer but I find it amazing all the people it brings together and all the importance it as for many countries. I think its good people like soccer but I get the feeling that other sports are really left aside because of it. Most sports channels are about soccer and the most typical sports and there are some others that still need to be discovered by all of us.
ReplyDeleteHi Cristian!! As Chile didn't qualified for this world cup I haven't been so interested but the truth is that I would like Brazil to win because I think that they deserve this because of all the internal problems they have had so I think that this would be a way in which they can forget this and celebrate a little as a country.
ReplyDeleteWhen I realized that Chile was not going to the World Cup this year, i was so sad because I think that the World Cup is an instance of country unity, where we all support together our football team. More than only football, the World cup is an instance of celebration, competition, where the whole world gathers in order to support their team! Hope that next Worl Cup Chile participates.
ReplyDeleteI love the fifa world cup, because I love football and I enoy it very much, I really like to see the fans of the different countries supporting their teams in all the matches. I would have liked to see Chile playing in this important game, but it doesn’t matter it will be for the next one.
ReplyDeleteI don't like too watch football on TV, I actually enjoy playing the sport. But when our country is playing against other I fully supported it by watching it in company of friends, moreover when we couldn't get into the Fifa world cup I as the majority of people wasn't happy at all. But we just have to faced it as mature people and keep supporting the other countries that did get into the Fifa World Cup. I don't know very much about football, therefore I have no idea which countries have the best opportunities to win, but I might have some of them in mind. Thanks for your publication Cristian and for sharing this amazing theme with us
ReplyDeleteHi Cristian!! I dont know very much of football but for me this World Cup has been very confused because the best teams of the world haven't show their real potencial, like Alemnia who won the last one and now it's out, and the worst teams are playing very good. It's very strange
ReplyDeleteGood post Cristian! Im agree with you, i think this tournament is very importan and special because is not only football maches but is also see how many differents cultures are reunited and is a exchange of different cultures. I would like that a team that have never won the world cup to win this time, i support belgica
ReplyDeleteI would't consider myself a football enthusiast but I was, as many people said, sad for Chile not going to the world cup. Now that Chile isn't going I can safely say that France is winning fore sure. But we Chilean people musn't loose hope because there will be another world cup in four years.
