This poem sounds much better in Italian, I did the best to translate it, but I hope you all get the sentiment of it. :)



How will you know what love is?
If you never became a fan of a Football club.
How will you know what pain is?
If no player has broken your tibia or perone
and you weren't on the barrier, and the ball hit you right there...

How will you know what pleasure is?
If you never ran an Olympic lap as the away team.
How will you know what brotherhood is?
If you never went to celebrate a goal with your teammates.

Listen!!!
How will you know what solidarity is?
If you never defended your teammate who got hit from behind.

How will you know what poetry is?
If you never verbally described a play to a fellow fan.
How will you know what humiliation is?
If a player never made the ball pass between your legs.

How will you know what friendship is?
If you never passed the ball back on a wall play.
How will you know what panic is?
If you never got caught with your defense unprepared on a counter attack.

How will you know what "to die a little bit" is?
If you never went inside the net to kick out a football?

Tell me my brother!!!!
How will you know what loneliness is?
If you never stood up under the three poles, 12 steps away from the one who wanted to fusillade you and finish off with all your hopes.

How will you know what mud is?
If you never prevented a "center" from another player by jumping to his feet and send the ball over the lateral line.

How will you know what selfishness is?
If you did an extra play, instead of passing the ball to the number 9 who was open.

How will you know what art is?
If you never invented a "rabona"

How will you know what injustice is?
If you never got a red card by a local referee.
Tell me, How will you know what insomnia is?
If your team was never demoted to second division.

How will you know what hate is?
If you never made an own goal.
How, but How will you know what to cry is?
If you never lost a final in a world cup.

How will you know, my dear friend,
How will you know what life is?
If you never, but never, played the Football game....
