Poem
Soccer is known the world over as the beautiful game. It's enriched many lives and brought simple minded people to many regions of the world. Give hope to so many children and allow their dreams to unfold.
I think the new motto for soccer should be, we'll never cower away, instead we will stand firm in the face of our many struggles and play. So let's spread our message of soccer, love and, most importantly - - Peace. We can even aspire to do the Wacka Wacka, but this time, for the Middle East.

"The possibility of winning the first Middle East World Cup is smaller than an ant's butt! Qatar might win the World Cup in 2022 BUT only on Play-Station" .... Unknown
The Middle East is a blessed region rich in natural resources and gifted people but has not been able to perform at the elite level. Soccer, or as it is called in the region "football", is the number one sport in the Middle East, although politics and other issues keep the Middle Eastern countries divided and not sufficiently engaged at the national level of soccer.
This is a story of a humble kid from Cairo migrating to the United States, getting inspired from a Caribbean vacation, and after studies decided to bring The Middle East together through soccer - winning the First World Cup and eventually Peace. Good illustrations of soccer, humor, poetry, and politics to motivate all Muslims, Jews, and Christians alike as well as to "unite" them both on and off the field.
