GOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

So this country is absolutley futbol crazed. And by futbol I mean soccer, not american futbol, which though fun to watch at times just cannot come close to comparing with the real thing. I think everyone growing up here wants to be a soccer player when they grow up and everyone watches all the games or listens on the radio and is just passionate about the sport. It has been really fun for me to be able to watch the likes of Ronaldinho and Robinho and all the greats on TV, a very rare occurrence in the US where all you can see is the mls which is not close to the same caliber and features amateurs and washed up european pros (coughdavidbeckhamcough) sorry I has something is my throat. For example I walked back to my room the other morning to see my host mother checking up on the soccer highlights from the night before. But it's really just been lots of fun for me to be able to see this soccer, now I have to find somehwere to play, hmm.
