You don’t really know Soccer until you’ve experienced it all over the World. Turns out some Leagues march to a different beat.

In sports we become accustomed to the ways in which people support their respective games; certain rituals that define and confirm our fanaticism.

It’s extremely easy to full in love with the country, and the way in which they follow the game makes it an instant recommendation for any fan who finds themselves in a city over there with a representative team.

I’d love to visit Japan. Not sure if I would want to live there. The country’s population is comprised mostly of Japanese people. I don’t know how they treat their minorities. Granted, I don’t hear horror stories about their white officers gunning down black unarmed civilians or Australian violence against Indian students from Japan. Not trying to rain on your parade, Will. Just thinking out loud. Wondering how the haves treat the have nots. Again, I love Nintendo, Sony, Studio Ghibli, and drive a Toyota.
