In the world, soccer or football is the most popular
sport. This is because many countries have wonderful teams for the World Cup.
The World Cup is held every four years. To remember 2002 FIFA
World Cup, children from different countries and more than 60 children from
Japanese schools came together and spent three weekends drawing a big picture
called "Dream World Cups" in Japan. Tile children drew animals, flowers and
people playing soccer in a blue bright sky. They wished each football team good
luck by drawing the flags of all the countries that will take part in the World
Cup in Japan and South Korea. The picture was put up in a park near a playground
in Yokohama. Some football teams will have games there. Are you
a football fan? The World Cup makes more and more people interested in football.
Teenagers like playing and watching football. Many of them love some football
stars so much that they get the pictures of their favourite players on the walls
of their rooms. That is the way to show their love for the World cup as children
in Japan.
