Do we truly see?

O futebol e o mundo 

(Leia em português)

I saw... you didn't see... he didn't see and nobody else seems to have seen...
The society became strangely funny with soccer.
I'm not fanatic by this sport, even so I do appreciate a good game... however, when one of the most representative soccer clubs of Lisbon plays, it wont be traffic anymore... I've the idea of everyone had simply disappeared being only me here, forgotten... nobody in the streets... where will they be?... will it be holiday?... of course not... they will be grabbed to some TV... or a radio... or probably in a stadium...
At this bad moment of economy that we are living, we used to say that "life's expensive" and that "the money doesn't give for everything"... but for soccer there's always money!
Some months ago, in one of my last bus trips, I attended to a family conversation... a couple with two children. The family chief had the brilliant idea to buy a scarf of its soccer club in March... I immediately understood that things, for that family, such as to the majority of Portuguese family, didn't run fine in the mater of finances... only by the woman reaction when such purchase was shown to her...
Portugal lives soccer intensely... nobody can speak, never, of that its soccer club doesn't play the satisfactory performance to reach gold. For all of us have the idea of the amplitude of everything I'm write here, I suggest that you all abstain for soccer only for a week... and observe the coffee talks... in the work... in any place... I'm not sure that such thing will be possible at all... the subject becomes vicious... and such situation is considers by me even most concerned when I analyze children behavior... these even so with questions of simple answer, or generalist culture, they shown that such subject doesn't have for the moment or pertaining for a school season (when, it was or should have been teched in the past year)... but when the subject is soccer, they obtain, without any doubt exactly say the classification that each club have as well as who is the best player and where the respective goals had been marked... you all breathe soccer... when this doesn't bring to you any added valuable... Even the politics I think they take advantage of "important" games... the quality of life in Portugal is not the better... all the people shows their dissatisfaction only until the o moment that their club gets an important victory.
I feel that people live the soccer as if their own existence depended of it... will it be possible that soccer players offers a commission to each fan, of what they earn?... it will be possible that when their soccer club loses a game their boss fans deducts something to theirs? With all of that, I do not only can understand the reason of the soccer to be in current state... in full decay... Will it be that, after all, the "bench trainers" doesn't understand soccer at all?
