ups and downs

soccer is the worlds number 1 sport no question. soccer doesnt solve many problems but it does give recognition to problems yet provides retreat. ive reconized that in soccer its not just skill its also who you know. and even the best players lose out. im can say with 100% certainty there are players in the US that are better than the pros on t.v. a movie that i watched and has inspired me and showed me there is hope in the magic of soccer is pelada. its a movie about two players who where on the road for stardom in the MLS and womens pro leage who somehow did not make it. they travel the world looking for pick up games. the movie shows how many soccer players that had the dream of pro but how it was also taken from them. not only does it show past pros it shows the people that play the beautiful game world wide. The movie hit home with me about how many good people there are yet how its so easy to slip inbtween the cracks. i highly recomend you watch pelada because it shows why soccer is the most beautyful sport in the world and how soccer holds a dream in the minds of those who play. they play for the love of the game. the simple game all you need is a ball.
