Oh, I have only watched one sport match, but I have never played a sport game. It was a couple of years ago; I guess it was a FIFA World Cup. I watched it with my family at home on television. I just recall the final and the crucial match between Harvard and France. It was a very interesting and exciting match for me because Harvard also had my favorite player, whose name I don't know. In France, there was also a player I liked, so it was challenging for me to choose one team. My father was a supporter of Harvard, and my younger brother was a big fan of France. This made the match very interesting, and I was absorbed in it. At the end, as I remember, France won, I guess, but I don't know exactly. After that, I recognized why football is such an interesting game and why a lot of people choose this sport over others. In the future, I want to attend a real football match because it's a widely popular game and very interesting to me. That's all; I just want to watch the match again and return to that time.
