32

For me it's the 2006 Football World Cup in Germany. This competition organized every 4 years from a different country is the biggest football competition in the whole world. The organizer country has to do all the services for those 32 teams who are fighting. The teams stay in hotels and go by bus to the zstadions. They are zdevided into 8 groups (A-H). Each groups has 4 teams. The teams become for a win 3 points for a draw 1 point and for a loss 0 points. Only two teams with the highest score can reach the sudden death phase of the competition from each group. The whole story is only 30 days long and in the final there are only two teams fighting against each other for the cup made from gold.

It was really important because the 32 teams came from 32 countries so there were players from all around. They represented their country. And not to forget about the fact that football is the most loved sport in the world, many people like it and watch it, so for them it is one of the most important dates in the calendar. People find together easily and watch the projector in the park. Football brings nations together and that's wonderful. Every game begins with the statement: "Say No to zRassism!" - held upon a great transparent by the players. The Kids watching the games at home want to be like their idols and start playing and that's healthy. For the organizing country it is really important that big amount of money that it earns.

In the future all those teams who hasn't made through the qualifying stages it could be a good aim to represent their country in such a big competition. It can also motivate everyone to play more in the future and live healthy. Motivate new and new countries to organize and make a big step forward in the development. After this event this sport is more popular before and it can be even more popular by organizing it again and again.

From my point of view, it was the biggest event of the year, because I like playing and watching football. It was great to watch the games with friends and strangers in pubs, this public viewing was a great feeling. My favourite team is Italy and they won the final against France in a dramatic penalty shot-out. This was the greatest highlight of the competition and I won 24 pints of beer in a bet against my roommate.
