Kikita here.
At some point I'm sure Mami has mentioned that we don't have TV. If you didn't know that, well, now you know. We live in a valley, so we can't even get basic channels without basic cable. We watch movies and are big Netflix fans, but that is not important right now.
I have had to go to great lengths to support my Top 3 picks (USA was in my Top 5, but not Top 3) and get my fill of soccer (aka "fútbol").
I took my laptop to a local cafe so that I could work and support Uruguay against the Netherlands.
I have exploited various friendships for their television and recording capabilities.
(Thanks Atkinsons! Thanks Michelle!)
I was up and at a German pub (wearing Argentina colors) at 6am only to watch in horror as Argentina was led to a slaughter.
I changed into Spanish red and relocated to a Spanish bar to scream at the top of my lungs as Carles Puyol made World Cup history.Of course, it is 1000 times more fun to watch a game on Univisión because when any team makes a goal there is that classic "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!" sound that only the Spanish announcers know how to make so I have tried to make it a point to see the games at places showing them in Spanish.
I am ready for Spain to win on Sunday. They HAVE to win.
Since the Germans couldn't score against them, we know that Spain must have a great defense, but here are the Top 5 Reasons why I KNOW Spain is going to win:
Reason #1:Xavi Hernandez
(I like to call him Xavi Hotness)
Reason #2: Sergio Ramos
(Oh, I'm
having a surge alright!)
Reason
#3: Fernando Torres
(Fernando TorYES!)
Reason
#4: David Villa
(According to FIFA
"David Villa is currently one of the world's hottest striking
properties." See? Even FIFA understands what I am talking about!)
Reason
#5: Iker Casillas
(Every great time needs a
gorgeous goalie.)
And while I've heard people complain about how obnoxious the sound of the vuvuzelas are, I can't help but love them. They look like so much fun! I haven't been able to get one of my own, so instead I got an app for that!
VIVA ESPAÑA!! GO SPAIN!!
