Passion for soccer
I'm a soccer fan, as many of European men are.
Soccer is a strong passion since I was a child, but I don't feel me as a fan of the game... I'm definitively a supporter!
Well, the last weekend I went back home in Italy for the Election Day and I was lucky to have the chance to live the most important day in the story of soccer in my little village.
The A.C. Petacciato, the soccer team of my village had a date with the glory, having a match against U.S. Termoli.
U.S. Termoli is the team of the greatest city in my zone (about 40,000 inhabitants), while Petacciato has just 3,500 inhabitants.
Well, it was the deciding match and we won!
It was an incredible and crazy day for the about 100 supporters (called Tigers due to the colours of the team - black and yellow) who followed the team for years, waiting for a triumph.
A.C. Petacciato is almost promoted in Serie D (something like 3rd Division in England)...
That's the true spirit of soccer (or football, or calcio if you prefer): enjoying the first triumph of the little team of your own village with your friends!
...And going back to Barcelona wearing the sweater of the little, unknown and magic A.C. Petacciato!
