Nevermind the fact 2 months ago I was called in to audition for Shakira's World Cup anthem music video - - the World Cup is one of the few sports events I get into. (And, for the record: I liked Shakira better when she was plump, with her raven-hair and only sang in Spanish).
In fact, La Copa Mundial runs a very close 2nd to my favorite: the Summer Olympics - which says a lot. Having to wait 4 years for both events makes them all the more exciting. I grew up in a soccer family - with most siblings playing and my dad coaching. In fact, being Mexican and settling in horse and dairy farm Bonita back in the 1960s he was tapped automatically to coach and helped introduce AYSO youth league to my hometown. My brothers were both star players and their love and talent has been passed on to 3 of my nephews who are excelling greatly and All Stars.
I have an interest in several teams: USA, Mexico, Germany, Spain and Italy for various reasons. But, anyone with a heart loves the underdog. I am so proud of the USA team - - watch this amazing video below on the country's reaction to the historic last-minute winning goal earlier this week! Especially the boy around minute 3:40. Brings tears to my eyes :)
