World Cup Friday

As I write this post at 7:30 Costa Rica time, I just watched the opening ceremony of the 2010 South Africa World Cup and waiting for the first game between South Africa and Mexico. If you are not into soccer or football, as we call it everywhere outside of the US, try to watch the opening ceremony because it was full of color and displayed amazing images of African culture.



On another note, rain has sort of kept me indoors over the past couple of days so I've been spending lots of time with my family talking. Today actually looks better so after the game will go out before the rain comes.


Enjoy this weekend... I know I'll be watching all my 6 teams on the field!

  6. I am not a big football fan, but I still played in a team as a kid. I think we Swedes all have at one point! :) My husband keeps me updated on the results! Have a great weekend!

  10. World Cup fever is a phenomenon! Wish I was in the midst of it. Not really into soccer, but share the delight and roaring happiness for South Africa for hosting their first world cup competition. Hope you've enjoyed each game viewing.
