Soccer is one of the most famous sports in the world, and nowhere is it more pronounced than in Spain. Having won the 2010 World Cup, Spain is one of the world's leaders in the soccer arena. Having been to Spain myself, I recall how important soccer was to their culture and their community. Soccer, being a very simple sport to play, and even cheaper to maintain, is appropriate for people who do not have much. Children learn how to play soccer from a very young age and spend most of their free time outside playing soccer. Families gather around the television to watch soccer games as Americans gather to watch baseball. Globally, it is generally known that Spain is the Mecca of soccer champions.
Spain plays soccer on a local and global level. They compete with individual teams that are assigned based on location in the country, and as a country team against other countries in international competitions. One of their lead players is quoted as saying "Esta es la competición más importante del mundo y no hay que buscar otras motivaciones exteriores" meaning this is the most important competition in the world, and there is no reason to look for other motivations.
