=**T****he History of Soccer**=

When you talk about Mexico you always talk about their culture, all it's beautiful places, its great food, and the friendly of the people. There is one thing that Mexico does well, and that is: play the best game there is on earth which is soccer. Many times I have been identified as been Mexican just because i know how to play the game. Every little kid in mexico starts playing as soon as they are able to walk, this is a tradition get together with the kids from your block and start playing in the afternoons. Mexico soccer history does not have the same initial launch as many other South and Central American countries like Argentina and Brazil to name a few. The total impact it had to the Mexicans started a few years before the First World Cup in 1930, just with a professional championship which was formed plus the first national selection in the Mexican Soccer history which happened in 1927. The History of Soccer in Mexico had a poor start. The first international match was played on January 1 against Guatemala on their home ground, which was the first international match in the history of soccer for Mexico. Although the Mexican team won 3-2 over Guatemala, they thought it was a good start. Unfortunately, this thought did not take effect. Mexico had the last place in the group stage in the World Cup during 1930, the poorest World Cup in the entire Mexican soccer history. This would just be the beginning of the history of soccer in mexico because as years went by, their game started evolving to a very competitive level as the european teams.

 * Soccer Teams **

These are all the teams from mexico. Every logo represents a different team and the are usually from different states that are located in different parts of the country. Some o the teams are more popular than others and this is because they have a longer history and also because they have more championships than others. Among the most popular teams are: America, chivas, cruz azul, and pumas. These are teams that have more titles than others and they also count with huge amount of fans not only in mexico but also in the U.S. All the teams have a huge amounts of fans that support them when they play at their stadium and also when they travel. They follow them when they have to go and play to a different city. These fans are so loyal to their teams that they go with them to every place they go.



Although soccer its just another sport as many people say, its different in mexico. Soccer its more than a passion is a way of life. Many people see it as the magic thing that brings everyone together. Once you are in the stadium watching your favorite team play, your mind goes blank and you just enjoy what you are seeing in the field. You forget about your worries and your problems. People become friend with others that they never seen in their life. Soccer is also a way of unity to many mexicans although they might not like the same team, they love the same sport and forget about their differences. When people are not able to go to the stadium they get together with their family and either make "carne azada" or some mexican food and they invite friends to come to their house. Its amazing how a sport transfer all these good things to many people not only in mexico but all around the word. Soccer has earned the nickname, "the beautiful game" it really fits because it is amazing what it does and what it willl continue to do to many peoples life.
