Today Mexico is playing in the World Cup again! After LGO and Spanish class today we headed to Champs for the game. Once we got there, there was a lot of people already there. We sat down at a table with Memo, our Spanish teacher from the previous week. You would have thought that Mexico had won another battle of independence when they scored their first goal. It was so loud in there and there was much celebration after the game I had tinitus. This wasn't the only time that Mexico scored, we had yet another opportunity to celebrate!

Mexico won! 2-0! We went out into the street and there was a crowd celebrating on the steps of Teatro Juarez. People were cheering, sirens were wailing, and flags were waving. What a great game it was!

It really is a commentary on the Mexican people to have such a tie to their national pride on this sport. It is amazing what this does to bringing people together to have a good time and celebrate. It really is a big difference from the States.
