(FÚTBOL)
Take a little quiz with us! See if you can answer this simple question....What event has been followed by more than 200,000,000 people last year alone?....If you said the Olympics, the Superbowl, the World Series, or even the NBA Finals, you missed the mark! Let me give you some clues....
This sport is played and followed all over the world...All you need is a round leather ball, and 22 guys, and now it is making a strong come back into the U.S.! YES! It is soccer, the king sport of the world and in Spain as well.
The Professional Soccer League in Spain is made up of several divisions, pretty much like the baseball leagues, of which the first division is made up of 22 clubs. These may vary according to their results and points earned during the league. The main teams of the league are the Atlético of Madrid, Barcelona Futbol Club, Deportivo la Coruña, and Real Madrid among others. But thats not all!!! There are other concurrent competitions along with the league. What did you think! We give these guys a break....NO! Not even a siesta! Such other competitions are the Kings Cup, the Eurocup, the FIFA Cup, and several others special events.
Now, we can talk about the quinielas. You may say: What the heck is that! Well...it has nothing to do with quinine if that is what you think. These are bets in which you try to predict on a weekly basis the results of all the games for that weekend, no easy task , I can assure you of that! This, together with the love that the fans have for their clubs, adds an extra boot of hurrah! (And may even give you some spending money to celebrate when your teams wins!!)
So what do you say? Are you ready? Come to play...come to watch, but we assure you that once you get in the kick of the things (OOPS!),...youll love it as much as we do!
GOOOOOL!!!
