The first thing I noticed when I arrived in Nablus, was that you either support Real Madrid or Barcelona. The affiliation with one of these two clubs is tremendous, with Real Madrid and Barcelona flags painted around the city along with ‘Messi’ and ‘Ronaldo’ graffiti all over town. This world-wide debate as to who is better has spread to this small Middle Eastern city. The recommencement of the European Champions League coincided with TYO’s soccer classes for the local boys and girls and personally, this is what I was most excited for! While Van Persie is facing off against Ronaldo we have this bunch of lovely boys and girls, beaming with enthusiasm, dying to show off their skills.
