Popular events like the football World Cup and other international sporting occasions are important because they allow to loseen international tensions and to involve people with patriotic emotions. In my opinion, these events show a good image of brotherhood between different nations.
Sush as the football World Cup, as well Olympic games represent the same values, because they demonstrate the fairplay and the healthy competition among atlethes, challenging themselves and the competitors to improve their performances. In this occasion, it isn’t important the nationality of each one or the international tensions, because the atlethes are the same aim, so to win the medals. For instance, before the begin of all football matches, both teams are shifted a greeting that symbolizes respect and gratitude.
However, there are many situations where fanatic supporters generate panic uselessly and they damage the structures and the other supporters who want to watch the match quietly. When this moments have verified, i believe that the main sense of the sport is lost. An example of this, it is the story tells on Tg where a group of football fan are hit the bus of the opponent fan with a stone. This event has turned in a tragedy, because the driver has died after he was hit by stone.
To conclude, i believe in the power of sport, because it’s able to addition different countries, culture and religion and, to delete the diversities. Furthermore, it is magic to listen when are singed the hymn of each team, that embodies the real patriotism.
