Do I talk too much about soccer?

Whoops. My bad. But I've helplessly been in love with the sport ever since the World Cup. Soccer saved me from a boring, stupid summer, and that's why it's so amazing to me. It's so entertaining to watch. I think it sucks that America isn't a soccer country, compared to like, Brazil, where soccer's practically a religion.
Anyway, this post will be about my favorite soccer players. Sorry I talk too much about it, but like I said, I'm like in LOVE with these people and this sport.

1. Ricardo Kaká [the Maestro]
This man. It's all because of him that I first fell in love with soccer. So you can thank him for me never shutting up about the sport nowadays. When I first saw him, he was being sent off by a ref with an unfair red card, in the game against Ivory Coast. I was wondering why the crowd was pissed and why my parents and brother were like "wtff". Then I saw the replay, and was all "that's stupid. He gets sent off for that? That dude just totally over-dramatized the entire thing." Then I saw his "this-is-so-ridiculous-smile" and it was gorgeous. Then I gradually found out more stuff about him. Plus BEFORE the World Cup began, my brother wouldn't shut up about him. Thus began my extreme love for Kaka. I watched some of his previous games on DVR, he was doing good, but not great, cause of his injury; but I saw some vids of him on Youtube, and he was absolutely brilliant, which made me love him even more. So, that's the story. Thank you Kaka; for getting me into soccer. You're my hero.

2. Cristiano Ronaldo
Wow. This man. He's known here in America for being extremely hot. But there's more to him than that. More than the average overly-obsessed fan girl sees. This man has SKILL. This dude is a beast at free kicks. This dude is fucking talented. He's one of the best in the world; forget what the haters say. The commentators know what they're saying when they his exceptional talent. After I became obsessed with Kaka, I became obsessed with Cristiano. True, he isn't known for his humility, but he's actually a good guy. I watched videos of him on Youtube, and saw him visiting children in the hospital and giving them gifts. He even wanted to see if he could become a marrow donor. He gained a lot of respect from me, I can tell you that. And his talent, his skill with the ball, his agility on the field sure don't take anything away. So thank you, Cristiano; for furthering my obsession with soccer, and for making me see how much a person can take it to the next level.

3. Mesut Özil
I think I'm in love with this guy. I ALMOST put him before Cristiano Ronaldo. That's how crazy I am about him. He's simply amazing. He's 21 and he will probably be one of the best in future years. Everyone, including me, saw his amazing talent during the World Cup. He proved himself to everybody. Love this guy. LOVE.THIS.GUY.

4. Sergio Ramos
Or as I like to call him, RrrrrrrrrrrrAMOOSSSS!!! I'm like, in love with this Spaniard.. I've only recently gotten into him, like Mesut Ozil, but I've loved him ever since. He's tough on the field and he's a kick ass defender. He's really skilled. And he's only 24 and has plenty of years of success ahead of him. And I'll be rooting for him all the way. VAMOS RAMOS!!!!


5. David Villa [the Blaze]
Impossible is NOTHING. Especially with this man. He led Spain to victory during this World Cup with his amazing goals. He made a goal in like every game, and he's one of the world's best strikers right now. #whattabeast. "A scorching flame fueled by La Furia Roja". See Impossible is Nothing Adidas commercial. Hehe.
