I’ve never really been one to keep current on fútbol (soccer).  However, this year was a little different for me.  Not sure if there was just nothing else on the tube, but I was keeping  a closer look on my favoite teams.  I’ve always rooted for  Brazil and Spain. 

Here in the US, we aren’t quite as extreme as other countries.  I remember hearing of many riots in other countries after their teams were sent packing.  It amazed me that people would be so upset that they would cause public damage and harm to those in their way. 

However, those who win, play hard afterwards.  This year, when Spain won the World Cup in South Africa, it seemed like the country partied for weeks.  It was so great to see a country gather and celebrate together. 

Have you had any experiences with this sort of thing?  I love to hear from you!
