When I was young, I used to think that there was a universal language for soccer.
Ten years ago, my dad was watching a soccer match and I was watching it too.I didn't understand everythings but it was fun.A player was talking to a referee and I knew that not everyone where speaking French or English, so , I wondered witch language they were speaking.I guessed that they had a universal language for soccer.Then I asked to my dad and he looked at me with a curious look and he told me that they were speaking English and I was very suprised and I said to my dad that one day I will speak English too.
