Football adds new followers in Cuba, this was as can be clearly seen in the World Cup in South Africa, which as soon as it began a vast audience started to walk down and up the streets.

Fans began to take shape several years ago in an almost furtive way, without too visible signs until it emerge with the legend of an Argentine football player of medium height Diego Armanda Maradona, "the golden boy" who had in suspense the heart of half of the world.

Diego and his halo entered in a single blow on the island who felt as its own his prowess, supported by a robust body and legs of iron throwing the ball on a shortening of distances shoot, to restlessness of the doormen.

Nothing is more natural then that the World Cup spreads its fever to thousands of Cuban devotees, including Odin Nieto, as called by his colleagues in the agricultural market of 19 and B, Vedado, who bore his home television and installed it in his
platform for not to miss a Cup that was already on everyone's lips.

A doctor by profession Joan Bermudez, trained karateist with black tape feeds a crazy passion for football. "I have no deep knowledge of the sport, whose rules and complexities are a bit beyond me, but I get very enthusiastic about the constant
challenge on the ground, the goals, the joy and courage of the players, he told Prensa Latina.

He also stated his preference for the Argentine team, which does their best. It is a staff with a shining star that radiates its own light Lionel Messi, sly and feline.

Without knowing he agrees with the view of the Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano, who defines Messi as the best player in the world for not having lost his innate joy and play for the sheer enjoyment the game itself provides. In that sense, Galeno says, Messi has not been professionalized.

Bermudez rubs his hands when he thinks he will see the eighth-and quarter-finals of the Cup on a bid screen in direct transmission at the Havana's Yara cinema, with a sound of high carat and "compadres" with whom to share feelings, discuss, comment , glorify or ruin a player before admired and to whom a blunder is not is forgiven.

But above all, the important thing is the pleasure to scream GOAL until your throat endurances. A goal that resounds in all Yara movie's walls and escape to the streets.
