the beautiful game
No sport is more accessible than soccer. It is played on all corners of the globe, sometimes merely with a wadded up ball of rags and a few bottle goalposts. Much of soccer’s beauty flows from its ubiquitous nature. Players from each country inject their own personalities into the game, creating new flavors as they go. From the exquisite dribbling of the Brazilians to the crisp tiki-taka of the Spanish to the powerful aerial attack of the Aussies, soccer inspires a creativity most sports only dream of capturing. It produces unique moments of brilliance impossible to replicate. I hope this post celebrates the melting pot of flavors that comprise the beautiful game, as the playlist features two songs from each continent. The outfits showcase a wide array of colors, but are carefully constructed with lightweight fabrics that can handle an impromptu pickup game.
