world language soccer tournament

During the semester, soccer was introduced as the worlds most popular sport. At hoboken high, the foreign languages that are taught are french, spanish, and italian. These 3 subjects combined themselves to create an in school soccer tournament against eachother. The purpose of this tournment was to become more familiar with ones culture and at the same time get to know other cultures.
During the preparation of the tournament, the students had to investigate how soccer was played at every culture participating. The would also look for food and clothing. Students would have to create soccer gear that look similar to the country they were representing. They would have to prepare food also for this huge spectical. The students had to also look up for an up to date roster of the national team that they were representing.
The students learned alot about soccer and how popular it is in the world especially in these cultures. They realized that american based sports are not really that popular around the world.
