For the love of the game

While on a cruise ship this past week, witnessing sports came about every day. However it was one event that brought the reality of soccer to me. On the sports court on deck 13, there was a 5 on 5 soccer tournament. In one of the games two teams from different parts of the world went head to head. During this "friendly match" one player slide tackled everybody on the opposing team. When one of the cruise directors called a penalty, the player flipped out and was about to fight him. Both teams argued and the game ended in a tie. This showed how much the game means to so many peoples.
