When I came to the United States, I brought with me my favorite t-shirt, a special one with symbols of my favorite soccer club. I had bought it around eight years ago and had worn to all of my team’s games. My favorite team, which I have supported for more than 16 years, is Manchester United. In the year when I bought my t-shirt my team won the English Premier League Cup. Next year they played really well and won the most valuable cup in the world for the clubs – UEFA Champions League. That’s why this t-shirt is so special for me. Can you imagine that your team have been losing a lot of games but once you start wearing “magic shirt”, they start winning almost everybody and getting any cup they want. After I moved to the United States, I worn my t-shirt a couple of times, but unfortunately, my team did not win any valuable cups. I wonder if I am partly responsible for my team’s losses. I take bigger size right now so it’s difficult for me wear my team’s t-shirt. Maybe when I will slim down, my team will win more cups.
