I’m all soccery this week!

I think I’d seen maybe six soccer…er…football matches in my life before now. Some of you probably have heard that it’s World Cup season. My Canadian follower(s) might realize this more than my American ones, but outside of the US this thing is as big as the Olympics. And I realized last night that it’s going to take a while to finish!

All of the games, except *maybe* one Superclasico (a soccer match between Paraguayan clubs Cerro Porteño and Olimpia) have been the Paraguayan national team. I’ll admit frankly; if it comes to Paraguay vs US in the finals of the World Cup, I’ll be rooting for the albirroja (white and red) all the way! We have to dress up at work on Monday (clients coming), but under my shirt I’ll have my Paraguayan jersey, close to my heart…

Now I just need to learn how to play. I was mowing my grass when I realized my kids will need a dad who can play soccer!
