South Africa's Summit

摘要

Soccer is the most democratic of sports. It can be played on any surface with almost any object, if not a soccer ball then a tin can, a stone, a rolled-up pair of socks. It does not require elaborate equipment: no pads, no helmets. You don't have to be 6 ft. 8 in. tall or as wide as a house. You just need to be nimble and talented and willing to practice-a lot. Greatness is egalitarian; the finest players come from every income bracket, every religion and ethnic group, every nation on the planet.
