why I love my club
CLUB ATLÉTICO RIVER PLATE
A picspam for footballverse.
How can you ever know what emotion is,
If you never saw 65 thousand people cheering with tears in their eyes.
How can you know what shame is,
If you were never eliminated from the cup in your own stadium.
How could you ever know what sacrifice means,
If you never saw Mascherano stealing the ball from another player.
How can you know about family,
If you never shared with your grandparents the past glories of your team.
How can you know what pain is,
If you never finished last in the table.
How can you know what pleasure means,
If you never humilliated your eternal rival in front of all their fans.
How can you know what love is...
If you never saw Ortega kiss his shirt after a goal.
How can you understand poetry,
If you never saw Aimar eluding rivals as if they were motionless figures.
How can you know what humilliation feels like,
If you were never defeated in a same tournament by the 4 recently promoted teams.
How can you even get close to loving your team,
If you never finished last in the positions table and first in the number of fans assisting to every game.
How can you understand what dying is
If you were never knocked off the cup in a game at your own stadium, playing with 2 more players and a difference of 2 goals in your favour.
Tell me, how could you ever know what effort represents...
If you never saw Almeyda fighting for every ball as if it were the last one.
How can you know what being selfish is...
If you never saw Ortega eluding 5 rivals and shooting over the keeper.
How can you know anything about pride,
If a player in your team never said anything to insult your eternal rival.
"I don't understand how people can support Boca Juniors. I look at them and... I feel sorry." - Ángel Comizzo
How can you know the definition of class...
If you never saw Beto Alonso play.
How can you know what art is...
If you never saw Enzo Francescoli with the ball at his feet.
How could you have any idea of what music really is...
If you never went to the Sivori Alta.
How can you understand the meaning of injustice...
If a ref never stole you a penalty when defining the championship.
How can you know what commitment is,
If you never saw Astrada showing up to play his last game for River when his father had been kidnapped.
How can you know what insomnia feels like,
If you've never stayed all night awake knowing the derby was the next day.
How could you ever say you feel helpless,
If you never lived to see the worst president your club ever had.
How can you have any idea about hate...
If you never saw a bunch of players put on the shirt you love only for the money.
How could you know what it's like to feel eternally grateful,
If you've never seen your favourite player retiring in front of thousands of fans.
How can you know what friendship is...
If you never went with a friend to El Monumental.
How can you know anything about crying,
If you never saw any videos of "The Machine" playing.
And now tell me,
How can you ever know what LIFE is really like,
If you're not a fan of River Plate.
We might not have as many International Cups as other clubs do.
We might not have won as many derbies as our rival has.
But there is one thing that nobody can ever deny,
and that is that the love for our club goes beyond anything and anyone.
We've never left our players alone before, like other fans have,
and we surely won't do it now.
Through good times and bad times, all that stays true is our love for this team.
