Top 5 Reasons Why Everyone Should Love David Luiz (Brazil vs. Colombia Edition)

A year ago, I wrote a piece explaining the 'Top 5 Reasons Why Everyone Should Love David Luiz'. I'm back now to tell you why you should love him even more (if that's possible). After Brazil's 2-1 win against Colombia, people began to notice how much of a great guy Luiz truly is. His qualities make him a wonderful role model on and off the pitch.

Sit back and enjoy this post. (To read the original click here.)

1. David Luiz has a lot of passion for Brazil.
David Luiz is one of the most passionate players that you will ever come across in this World Cup. Expect him to belt out Brazil's national anthem prior to kick-off and try to pump up the crowd during the game. He feeds off of the atmosphere from the stands and will always give his 100 percent.

Storytime: Back in his Benfica days, Luiz had the option to represent Portugal instead of Brazil. He kindly declined the offer since Brazil was his only choice.

2. That goal.
Luiz's unique technique has us wondering how he does it. This free kick is far from ordinary. You probably have already seen this goal multiple times. Yes, multiple times.

3. That celebration.
BEAST MODE! This is Luiz's second goal in this competition.
4. David Luiz embodies true sportsmanship.
After Colombia's loss against Brazil, James Rodriguez was completely devestated. Realizing this, David Luiz came over to the Colombian to comfort him. Luiz urged the crowd to applaud the player as a sign of respect. Afterwards, both players gave each other hugs and swapped jerseys. This is an example of great sportsmanship.
