One key factor for many students is that you will get a great education in any subject at Chicago but the focus is not on learning a professional skill but on learning how to think. Because of Chicago's strengths in both social and physical sciences this is where you need to mention any intersrt in any interdisciplinary subjects. Do mention and quote any particular research you may be aware of. For example - researchers are building computational models of how children acquire new vocabulary - what implications are there for education in the way we teach children.

Here is my attempt writing this -
I think Germany is the new Brazil at least from the viewpoint of a football(soccer) fan. I have been a soccer fan since childhood. As a child I lived in four different countries and changed over 10 schools before finishing high school. Football was always a common l interest through which I made some of my closest friends. Always a good team, Germany was known for being organised, efficient and methodical while Brazil was the creative and more exciting team. Germany is currently playing with the flair and free flowing creativity that has long been considered the hallmark of the Brazilian team. In my opinion this change has come to pass as Germany has incorporated more and more multicultural players in their team. The recent world cup winning team featured players of Arab, Turkish, Polish and even Ghanaian origin. The 7-1 victory over Brazil in 2014 announced Germany replacing Brazil as the premier football team internationally.
