“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying,
sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”
Pelé
Who has the better game of football, American or Europe? This is a great time to have all these countries in our midst-during our 250th birthday, with their passionate fans, storied rivalries, and dazzling displays of skill filling stadiums and screens around the globe. The debate rages on between the bone crunching strategy and athletic spectacle of American football and the fluid artistry and global unity of the European version. Yet in this electric atmosphere of international competition, this may not be our American football, but I’m betting on America to win it all. That they will bring home the ultimate glory through sheer determination, home advantage, and that unmistakable underdog fire.
