Asking about the Copa Mundial

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

@Ookami: You're not the only one. I've turned off the TV, but there is no escape the attack through the internet too.

[Esperar]

Well I follow my national team, so I will be watching it, but I'm not as big a fan of football as I used to be.

[laepelba]

Oh, come to the US. You have to go in search of it around here. It can be found, but you have to seek it.

[Esperar]

Wasn't it like that when you hosted the tournament in 1994?

[CrOtALiTo]

Certainly Mexico team didn't win this time upon Holland.

It's a poor for the Mexican people who they hope have a great game the next time.

Fixed.

*Small tip. Holland can also be called the Netherlands too! You can use either though, so don't worry.

Yeah, right... then I would have to run away from the Superbowl.

I had never even heard of the World Cup until after 1994. No joke. I only heard of it when I moved to the Washington, DC area and started teaching students of Latin American descent. That was in 1996. And I didn't understand the big deal....

I LOVE the Superbowl. It's not about the game. It's about the commercials!!
