Soccer seems to have been designed for humans of the 21st century. It works against the clock, is global in nature and gives us a banquet of idols that marketers worldwide can feast upon.

Soccer was the first sport I knew, I understood, that touched me. It is so simple in its rules and so easy to practice anywhere. Since 2010, soccer is what most unites me with my son, our main topic of conversation. The South Africa World Cup changed his life and mine, together. The18.com is like an oasis for me. I enjoy selecting the subject of each article, investigating, arming and, finally, (the biggest challenge) writing in a language different than that I speak in my country, Venezuela. In addition, this site allows me to share with journalists from other cultures around the world. Besides the profession, all of us also have one thing in common: soccer.
