Now, I'm not the biggest sports fan in the entire world, but I have never been so excited for a soccer game in my life! Before the game, the park in my city had little performances and vendors set up, getting everyone pumped up. A big screen showed the match. Us foreigners set up a little area under a canopy and everyone brought drinks and snacks. When Korea scored, fireworks went off and everyone started singing.
After Korea won (woo hoo!!) we all grabbed some dinner then headed to a bar to wait for the America/England game. Everyone was singing their nation's anthems and getting their faces painted. The game started at 3:30 am our time, but I could only last for another half an hour. I'm just glad we didn't lose to England! It's a blast being here with people from so many countries and being able to share this excitement with them!
Go America! (and Korea...)
I love this photo. They are both Irish. Clearly, he is rooting for America, and she is rooting for England (and Korea....)

This is a really cute photo of you! I bet Joe wishes I could have had some of that enthusiasm for the World Cup.
Haha! Unfortunately, If I had been America I don't think I would have been as enthusiastic. But Korea went ALL OUT for this, it was AMAZING!
