UNIVERSITARIO DE DEPORTES vs. ALIANZA LIMA

Real Madrid and Barcelona, River Plate and Boca Juniors, Peñarol and Nacional are some of the examples that show that every country you go, there are at least two classical soccer rivals. In the case of our country, Universitario and Alianza Lima are two classical soccer rivals. Both of those teams have some differences regarding: foundation, popularity, and championships.

In the first thing Alianza Lima and Universitario de Deportes are dissimilar is in their foundation. For one thing, Universitario was founded on August seventh in 1924 by some university students of the UNMSM. In contrast, Alianza Lima was founded by some citizens on February fifteenth in 1901. That is why some people, including journalist and fans, believe that Alianza Lima is the team of the town, while Universitario represents students. Besides, some people believe that Alianza Lima's fans are poor people and Universitario's fans are the wealthy ones.

The second difference between those two teams is the popularity and hooligans they have. First of all, it was shown in many surveys, such as the one of the Lima University this year that Alianza Lima's popularity is second only to the popularity of Universitario. Although Alianza Lima had more fans in the 80's, Universitario throughout its championships has been made the most popular soccer team of Peru. Secondly, those two popular soccer teams differ in their hooligans. Universitario's hooligans are called the "Trinchera Norte", whereas Alianza Lima's ones are called the "Comando Sur". Those two groups of hooligans are the most famous ones here since they belong to the most popular soccer teams of Peru.

The last difference between those two teams is the championships they have gotten. First, Alianza Lima has gotten 22 championships here in Peru. Getting these titles has made Alianza Lima the second team with more championships in Peru on account of the fact that Universitario is the one with more titles. Currently, Universitario has 24 championships, and it is the team that has gotten more of these titles here. Even though those two teams do not have well-known international championships, Universitario compared to Alianza Lima has been made better participations whenever it comes to talking about the South American Cup of soccer clubs and the Libertadores Cup.

In brief, there are many differences with those two teams whenever it comes to talkiing about foundation, championships, and popularity. Thus, it is up to you deciding to be fan of Universitario de Deportes or Alianza Lima.

SOCCER VIOLENCE

Heads, hands, and legs are some of the parts of the body that people use whenever they fight. Showing how strong someone is has been a reason for fighting for many years. Nevertheless, nowadays it is becoming more common that people fight because of more reasons. One of the reasons why people fight is soccer, and everything that is related to this popular sport. I think that there is soccer violence due to some causes that, of course, generate some effects.

The first reason why there is soccer violence is the fact that people have many preferences and likes whenever they talk about soccer or when they go to a soccer stadium. For instance, whenever there is a soccer match, there are always two groups of fans that support two different teams. Besides, sometimes there are discussions in a family whenever they talk about a soccer since there are many preferences. Because of these different preferences, there are often some fights between supporters or hooligans after a soccer match.

Another main reason that causes soccer violence is the kind of songs hooligans sing. Hooligans not only sing those songs for cheering up their teams, but also they do that to offend the fans of the other soccer club and the soccer players, of course. Those offensive songs generate some acts of violence on the streets, or wherever fans of different teams run into each other. Unfortunately, not only does this reason make hooligans fight on the streets, but it also makes some soccer players play stronger and resort to violence on the soccer field.

Because of those two causes, soccer is becoming a violent sport that generates some bad effects. Take for instance that many deatils are caused due to soccer. Moreover, vandalism is increasing as a result of this popular sport, too.

People's death is one of the effects cause by soccer. This bad effect is generated since hooligans do not like the fact that their favorite soccer team loses a match. Due to this cause, there are many fights that end up bringing up many deaths. Although all fights do not end up with deaths, it is better that soccer does not cause those results. For example, in the soccer match between Universitario de Deportes and Alianza Lima, two classical soccer rivals, in 2008, there were eleven deaths since Universitario won the match.

Furthermore, soccer violence has an effect on teenagers since they start to be part of groups of vandalism. Nowadays, there are lots of teenagers that join groups of hooligans. These groups of hooligans are usually related to vandalism because they do not know how to have fun if their team loses. Besides, these groups of violent supporters often need money to enter a stadium to see their team, and that is why they steal money and prefer vandalism.

To sum up, there are some bad effects due to soccer violence which unfortunately is becoming a violent sport. I would say that if this trend continues, there will be more bad results than now that will not only affect hooligans, but also all the society.

BECOMING SUCCESSFUL

Have you ever heard something about Bill Gates? If you are thinking in the famous successful man, you are right. This famous man could become successful on account of the fact that he knew what to do to succeed. Besides, he knew how to achieve his goals and fulfill his dreams. Therefore, for becoming successful, it is advisable that you follow some main steps.

First, you have to identify your skills and likes. Identifying your skills will help you know more about you and, of course, know what you can do successfully. Once you identify your skills, you ought to recognize what you like, for sometimes you do not like everything you can do. After that, you should organize both your skills and likes in order to try to make them work well. For example, if you like soccer,and you play it very well, you ought to practice soccer as much as you can to develop well your skills. Moreover, if you practice this sport, you will not get bored since you will enjoy it. This is an example that shows how you can organize well your abilities and likings.

Having identified your skills and likes, it is recommended that you follow two important things. For one thing, you should set goals to yourself. Then, you should identify which kind of goals they are since by this way you will be able to decide what goal comes first. Secondly, you ought to make a specific plan for fulfilling your dreams. In your plan, it is advisable that you make a list of the things you will do chronologically. As Bill Gates said, "My ambition has always been to make dreams become true", you should try to fullfill your dreams as an ambition (qtd. in quefrases.com, par 1).

The last step is to do everything you planned before. Doing everything you planned will help you achieve your goals easily since you will just have to do specific things . Although you have problems, you should stick to your original plan. Take for instance that Stephen Hawking, a successful and intelligent man, could achieve his goals, for he stuck to doing what he planned, in spite of the fact that he had multiple sclerosis, an illness that does not allow the movement of the body.

All in all, becoming successful is something not too difficult if you follow those three main steps. I believe that there will be many successful people in the next years if they know how to fulfill their dreams, achieve their goals and if they do not give up. "[Remember that] In order to succeed, you must know what you are doing, like what you are doing, and believe in what you are doing," says Will Rogers, a successful american actor.
