I am really interested in soccer. That is why choose this article from Canadian press. This article is about famous Korean soccer player Park Ji sung who plays for Manchester United. He has been playing for Mancherster united for 3 years. He has played for PSV Eindhven in Holland before. He is preparing to play in UEFA champions league final. He contributed his team going to the final. He played very well the quarter finals and the semi finals against Roma and Barcelona. If he plays in the final, he will become the first Asian player to take part in the UEFA champions league final. UEFA is Union of European Football Association. Few years ago, one Iran player has put on substitution members but he could not play.
Most Koreans are looking forward to he playing there and they believe he play. The start game in early morning at Korea time but it does not matter. Most Asian people who like a soccer also are interested in this game. Asian people focus on this player.
Unfortunately, he did not play in the final. He even did not join the substitutions. I was really disappointed and all Korean people also were disappointed. Park said I will have next chance. I will improve my skills more. He also looked as if he was sad he did not paly but he will never give up. He is the pride of Asian. I expect he plays in the final next year.

Globalization or globalisation in its literal sense is the process of making, transformation of some things or phenomena into global ones. It has spread all over the world and influenced many things. Every thing has been changed by globalisation. Sports also are one of them. In Korea, many aspects of sports can be see. This following essay will support for my view.
Firstly, the globalisation of sport causes many people to be interested in other countries sports. For example, old korea people did not expect to watch or see English premier league on the TV. Nowadays, it is easy to watch and read news about that and many people talk about foreign soccer players. It was hard to see Korean players play in other nation’s leagues but as globlisation has spread, many Korean players play in other leagues. In addition, it also make foreigners are interseted in korea. Taekwondo which is a Korea traditional sport has been popularise in the world. It used to be known only in korea but other nationalities have become interested in it.
Secondly, the globlisation of sport has developed huge sport brands such as NIKE, ADIDAS and PUMA. Just 10 ~ 15 years ago, it was unusual to see some one wear or bring huge sport brand goods but it is too easy to see people with them. Moreover, these company support globlisation of sport. For example, NIKE sponsors many national soccer teams, Korea as well. It cause people to buy another national soccer uniforms.
In conclusion, globalisation of sport can not be avoid and it has been good effect on sports popularisation. However, it might be bad to culture. People could be more interested in other countries sports. There are advantages and disadvantages. We have to make a distinction which part is good or not. globalisation of sport has been still changing. We need to follow good ways.
