Glory

The wait is over. In less than it takes to watch a bad movie, of which there are always too many out there, the season finale of Italia´s Serie A will commence. If you are a fan of soccer, (aka football, fútbol, futebol, calcio, etc.) you know that there is no actual "championship final" but a champion will be decided on the 38th and last day of the season.
Inter have been the leader the pack all season, but its lead over Roma has been shortened from somewhere around eight points to one point due to the neri-azzurri's poor performances in the past few weeks. It truly doesn't matter how well Roma plays, even if the score 20 goals they are still dependent on Inter's ability to deliver what until recently had been the norm: a victory.
This game is of particular importance to Hondurans. Yes, Hondurans, people from that Central American country most people have never heard of. Yes, the one near Costa Rica. The reason for this is that it's the closest any Honduran has come to soccer glory in the world arena in the past 26 years. David Suazo, the striker that came this season from Cagliari after a dispute between Inter Milan and their rivals AC Milan, is due to play some 15 minutes if coach Mancini's script hasn't changed.
Hondurans dream not that Inter gets the Scudetto but that Suazo turns out to be a key part of this if not the hero. You see, this particular match is one in which glory can be attained by simply doing what Suazo has been paid to do, score goals. More accurately, score a goal if the right circumstamces are present. Materazzi, the guy who admmitedly insulted Zinedine Zindane's sister to get the French star's head boiling and a red card with it two summers ago, had the chance for glory last week. The funny thing is that Materazzi is a defender that hasn't really been a star in the team. He was absent for a good part of the season due to injury, and hardly ever has a role in Inter's attack machine. But last week he had the chance for glory at his feet, and he blew it. Couldn't score a penalty kick that would have given Inter the title of champions. So the glory is up for grabs. All Suazo needs to do is push the ball into the net. It doesn't matter how that happens, if he does it the rumors of his return to Cagliari will disappear. His under-par eight goals in the seaon will look more that Julio Cruz's and Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goals put together, and Super Mario Balotelli will have to wait until he can drive a car to be the star of the team.
One goal. Anyone can be a hero, even that guy who barely ever plays, who comes from that country that no one's ever heard of.
