All hail the team that will win it all. All stand in adoration of the conquering hero's. Rise and chant now the mantra of your favorite team. Now is the day of battle. See the mascot that has become an idol. Worship at it's feet and pray for victory. Be all consumed by the passion, one will prevail and one will fall. To the victors go the spoils and the glory, to the vanquished, goes a sense of emptiness and unrequited loss. Let each day pass until at next our hero's take the field of battle. Until then the faithful wait in patients as if hoping for a messiah to come. Longing to revel in the glory of the moment, but that is mortal and fleeting. So goes the worship at the Cathedral of the church of football.
