Four years of waiting finally over!! Although some of you may not even have known
the World Cup was happening until you started hearing about someone named Tim
Howard who could save the world, in Haiti we anticipate it with great
excitement. Haitian soccer fans can—as a
general rule—be divided into two camps: Brazil fans and Argentina fans. Or on the other side of the coin:
anti-Argentina fans and anti-Brazil fans.
Obviously—that is, if you were following the World Cup—it was quite an
interesting year for both sides.
I had a blast cheering for the US…their game against Belgium was hands down the most exciting match I saw. I can’t wait to see
them in 2018. (Consequently—although the
probability is slim to none—imagine if the USA won the World Cup <IN RUSSIA>,
of all places...ha!)
This year belonged to Samuel, however, as Germany rose
unflinchingly and unstoppably (and a little ruthlessly) to finally claim
another long-awaited World Cup victory.
Yes, I am knitting while I stand on the wall trying to see over the heads of the guys in front of me.
I have to say: congratulations to Klose.
I had no particularly strong loyalty to either team in the final--and I almost always feel sorry for the losers--but I can celebrate Germany's win.
