goooooooooooooooooool!!

it's our third day in germany and too many things have happened. to begin with, our debut at the world cup was marked by a clear victory over iran in nürnberg! the town was p-a-c-k-e-d with mexicans... and the feeling from hearing the crowd chanting cielito lindo in the altstadt was simply sublime. every bar, every restaurant, every corner in the streets was full of us!! and the germans walking by us and standing on their balconies, they all yelled at us viva la mexicooo!! and wore the characteristic green jersey!! and i almost felt sorry for the iranis being so few. they were sooo nice, though. some wanted pictures with us. some wished us luck. after their defeat, some even said to us, good game, cheers, which i doubt any mexican would have done had we lost... so, yeah, we are bad losers. but at least it didn't show this time...!!

sooo much fun!

yesterday we arrived in berlin and the city is going bananas with the brasil-croatia match tonight. and even though mexico is not playing, we still feel the love from our fellow germans... and croatians... and costa ricans... and brazilians. even yesterday, when none of us was wearing a mexico jersey but noel was wearing his santos one, people would still shout viva la mexico! and cheer us up...

so off we go now, to eat some good kebabs and visit the famous alexanderplatz before we head off to the fifa fan fest by the branderburg gate to watch brasil and croatia battle to death for the first place in their group.

ooooooh!! and i was on tv!! my cousin saw me, my face all painted green, white, and red and yelling mexico! mexico! jajaja i'm famous, i'm famous!!!
