About the Author
Hello, my name is Marco Pontello. I am a business student at the University of Ottawa and I am currently in my first year of study. I chose this program because of my love for commerce; however, my true love is soccer. I have been playing soccer ever since I was a young boy; some say I was born with it in my blood due to my Italian heritage. The beautiful thing about soccer is its ability to bring the world together. Soccer, Calcio, Football, Futbol, Voetball; these are all translations of the name of the sport because the sport is played worldwide. There is nothing more exhilarating than watching your favourite team, or even better your own country, play in a match. Soccer is a sport of pride, elegance, athleticism, aggression, and finesse. That is why it is my greatest passion.

The video to the left is a great example of how the World Cup brings the world together with happiness, passion, and love for the game of soccer.

About the Wiki
If you read the paragraph above you would come to the conclusion that I am a huge soccer fan. That is why this is the theme of my wiki. The game of soccer has many different major leagues all over the world: Italy, England, Spain, France, Brazil, etc. The goals of this Wiki consist of providing links to access news and scores related to specific leagues, as well as provide a discussion area on the Wiki where passionate soccer fans from all over the world can discuss their opinions and their strategies regarding a certain match up. The discussion is limitless; it can consist of simply expressing your enthusiasm for your favourite team, or discussing tactics that a team should take in order to be successful. I look forward to hearing everyone's opinion on my Wiki. Enjoy!

What to do on this Wiki?
I encourage all soccer fans to explore my wiki for links that lead to news about their favourite leagues. I also encourage their participation in the discussion page to converse about the happenings in the Italian Serie A, Barclays Premier League, Liga BBVA, Bundesliga, and the MLS!
