World Cup fever


It has been fun watching most of the World Cup games here in Portugal. Europe takes their soccer very seriously, which definitely makes it more engaging. Every little coffee shop, restaurant and bakery has a TV in it, and you can bet they are showing each game when it's on.

It was sad watching the U.S. lose, but I am happy they made it as far as they did. The other frustrating thing is watching most of the players fake falls so often. I understand if everyone's doing it, they feel they should, too. But it really makes the game that much less enjoyable, in my opinion.

Well, the Portugal/Spain game starts in two minutes, so we'll see if Portugal can pull it off. Boa sorte, Portugal!
