Futbol: The Passion of the Crowds

It’s Futbol in Latin America & Spain but in the US they call it Soccer. Others from England, Africa & France know it as Football. Futebol is the name found in Brazil and is used by all speakers of Portuguese. In Italy say Calcio but don’t forget its Fussball in Germany & Austria. Around the world I really believe the same feeling is shared by all. They love this game.

Currently, Peruvians are excited about watching Universitario, Alianza Lima and Aurich playing in the Libertadores Cup. It’s shocking I know, but the whole country stops during the game. The streets empty, people get together and everybody is ready to cheer Gooool!!!.

Last weekend, when the whole world celebrated Valentine's Day Puma surprised fans everywhere with a smart commercial connecting soccer with love. “The Hardchorus” was filmed at the Beehive Pub in Tottenham with real fans singing Savage Garden’s “Truly Madly Deeply”. I’m sure many soccer fans were saved on this day from their honeys when this video went viral.

Enjoy watching how these mates dedicate their performance to the women they left at home and don’t forget Valentine’s Day can be any day so you can still send this song to your love one.
