Hi, everybody! How are you today? So it was
the World Cup finale today
and I was sad Argentina didn't win
'cause I wanted a South American team to win
and I like Messi. I think he's a good player
but I'm not too disappointed
because soccer isn't such a big deal in America.
The World Cup is very interesting this year.
Well, I was very happy to see my team do well.
We were in a very hard group
to make it out of with Portugal and Germany
and even Ghana. But, we did pretty well
and I hope that we will continue to improve
and be better
in future World Cups.
I really also like Costa Rica. I like to root for the "underdogs", I guess
the teams that are not
as favored to win.
But unfortunately, usually those teams don't do as well.
It's always the
European teams and the South American teams that
are the best. Yeah, I hope that one day
America does
well, if they don't win, I hope they just make it to the semi-finals.
I was interested, I have a few friends in Brazil
who were not in support
of Brazil winning the World Cup and they were happy that Brazil was eliminated
from the Cup because
they didn't like, I guess,
that the president spent or that the government, rather, spent so much money on
new stadiums
and when I guess there's more
important, or more pressing, issues that the country needs to address.
so I'm curious if you agree
with my friend's opinion or not.
I don't know a whole lot about Brazil, so I can't say
either way what I think
but yeah.The World Cup
makes me really want to visit Brazil even more than I already did
and I think it's a beautiful
country. I can't wait to see the next Olympics
which I'm pretty sure they're in Rio de Janeiro.
I can't say a whole lot about the Cup,
'cause I'm not the biggest soccer fan, but I hope everyone enjoyed watching it.
If any of you actually got to attend the games, I'd love to know what it's like.
what it's like
I've been to a few local hockey games, but I've never been to any
major sporting events other than that,
so I don't know what a really exciting soccer game
is like to see in person.
Anyway, I hope you all have a great day or night.
I guess it's pretty late in Brazil
at this time. Anyway, bye!
