Mexico, Same as Usual -- USA, Still a chance -- Cologne, Ghana town -- Brazil, slowly but surely




Mexico, Same as Usual
The last game was not all that. Mexico seemed to play two games: One that should be forgotten on the first half and the second one where they played better. Yet I am comfident the national team will make it to next round.

We still have not got the tickets for Mexico vs Portugal (which should be great) but they still have couple of days to deliver.

A little insight on what is going on here with the Mexican team… Televisa (Mexican TV Network and part of owner of UNIVISION in the USA) has brought music bands that play before the game at the stadiums where Mexico is playing such as Banda el Recodo. People are going to stadium just to party with us and dance. Also, Corona has set up stands of games and typical Mexican food for the enjoyment.

I have to say if the Atlantic was the same as size as the Rio Bravo, Mexicans probably would come here instead of US because Europeans loveeeee the Mexican Culture. Whenever you wear your Mexican jersey they cheer “Mexico, Mexico” and they start singing “Cielito Lindo”. It is really gratifying to see how much they like the Mexican Culture and its people. (P.S. I do not Mexicans can swim this far... hehhehe)

USA, Still a Chance
What a game the Americans put two nights ago. I do not care they tied, they showed courage and will of winning. I will be cheering for them when they play Ghana. GO USA

Cologne, Ghana Town
We got here two days ago and this town is beautiful. My only purpose here is to buy my hurracain glass from the Hard Rock Cafe. Ghana played here VS CR and after their win, the town never went quite. It was loud all night, well at least until 3 A.M. when I went to bed. They played African music all night, and there seemed to be a loud singing competition between Ghana and the ZCheks.

Brazil, slowly but surely

Brazil won and they are now on the next part of the WC. That is all it counts….
