world cup fever!

In case you didn't notice, I am pretty caught up in the World Cup here in Argentina! It is super fun being in a country so pumped about the games. There is a huge screen downtown for people to gather and watch the games. This week the enthusiasm here for Argentina has really turned up as they won all three of their first games and now move ahead to the next round. To top it off a local player for the neighborhood team, Boca Juniors, scored scored the final goal of the Argentina's last game....goooooolllllll, Palermo!


To top it off the United States won their group today and also move ahead to the next round. Bring on more games days this Saturday and Sunday! At least the Lakers sealed the deal, so no more staying up until 1:00 am to watch the NBA Finals.

Here is a super helpful schedule "wheel" for the World Cup games. The easiest way to keep up with the dates and times of the games, etc. The times are all South Africa time, so you have to adjust to your time zone.

And here is a pretty funny satirical article posted on "The Onion" about the insufferable World Cup fan in the USA.
