Uniting World Citizens Through Soccer (Football) and Other Sports

Athletic competition has been universally appreciated around the world and throughout time. Since early recorded history, audience members have been entertained by events such as the Aztec’s Ullamaliztli in Mexico and the long-distance races of the Olympic Games in Greece. These types of sport laid the groundwork for modern matches, like the recent Women’s World Cup soccer games in Australia.

Today’s audiences are drawn to the drama, athletic prowess, and excitement surrounding the soccer game – before the players hit the field, as they play, and after the countdown clock finishes.

In the finals of the 2023 Women’s World Cup, Spain opposed England in an all-Euro match. Both teams faced challenges ahead of the game: Spain dealt with the team’s protests against their head coach and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF); then it lost several key players who didn’t advance to the last game after qualifying to play. England too, was missing principal players when the Lionesses’ all-time leading goal scorer and the starring midfielder announced their retirements. However, the match held promise with extraordinary returning talent on both sides.

During the game, dashing plays – such as Spain’s single goal and England’s near-goal – kept the interest of the fans high, while they lamented the significant injuries to players in both uniforms.

Post-game, the euphoria on Spain’s side held controversy with the unanticipated kiss from RFEF president Luis Rubiales on midfielder Jennifer Hermoso. Meantime, England’s Manager Sarina Wiegman showed obvious misery at her second consecutive World Cup final loss.

The entertainment value of games like these has increased the popularity of soccer worldwide, bringing with it the demand for materials to learn this game, teach it, and coach teams. Players and coaches find it critical to learn secrets of successful athletes and staff by studying their performance careers, especially in sports manuals and other books.
