Today, Soccer is one of the most popular world sport and it has been that way for over a century.
Even though the Soccer Organization FIFA has been recently tainted with major scandals, the sport's popularity is growing in the face of next year's world cup.
During the war in 1914 the British and German soldiers agreed in a truce for the Christmas day and played a soccer match. Then they exchanged gifts, cigars, and sang together experiencing a "normal" day in the middle of a cruel war they were fighting. It's amazing that this event was possible in that scenario, and it only shows the strength of the human spirit in the hopes that peace is possible if we decide to pursue it.
Last year Germany and England celebrated the 100 years of this event by organizing a soccer match between them.
