I was just saying to my mom how "cool" it was that the whole Mexican half of my family took the day off/went into work late to watch the opening match. It was a tremendously BIG deal for us and we had a lot of fun watching it. My dad is like a Futbol savant and he is obsessed with the sport to the point where I feel he will give himself a heart attack someday. It kind of sucks because he follows the sport a lot globally, but he's from Honduras and so his country is ...not so good and it really breaks his heart ...for reals.

I lived in England for a bit when I was at Oxford and so todays match (me being so patriotic) is going to be a BIG one for me. I really want USA to win so bad because I've watched our team throughout the year but all of my English friends are telling me to get ready for an upset. xD Either way it's going to be a lot of fun since it's my Birthday today and we will be having a part at the same time!

Also, I watched Argentina play today (if you are from latin america you know it's completely alright to hate Argentina with a passion in general) and I have to say I can say why they call Messi the best player in the world. It was truly a nice match to watch. I agree though, the France/Uruguay game was kind of a bore but the Mex/RSA was great too.
