WARNING: This is mostly a soccer post.

So I can’t believe the World Cup FINAL match is on Sunday. I have been
waiting impatiently for four years for the World Cup. It’s a really
big deal to me obviously.

I have thrown all my support behind David Villa and Espana. Yes, I
admit it- I’m holding a grudge against the Dutch. I don’t want them to
win because they sent home my team (Brasil). No I am not dumb, Brasil
is actually correctly spelled with an S not a Z. Anyway, I still hold
a grudge against France from 2006 and was happy to see how quickly
they went home. The pitch isn’t a place for Divas so France and
(though I hate to admit it) England needed to go home and remember
what it means to play in a World Cup.

It is weird because I have been thinking of the last Cup lately and
how different everything is. I was going into my second year of
college and watched almost every game at my patents store. I would ask
my mom to take me so I wouldn’t sleep through the morning games. I
used to think about waiting another four years for Brasil to be on top
again and how different life would be for me in four years. Would I be
happy? Working in PR? Would I still have the same friends? My life is
different than I expected, but still the same. It’s strange and I wish
I could explain more.

Either way, I hope Espana rocks this final, at the very least David
Villa deserves it (even if he does play for Barcelona). So on Sunday I
will be unreachable by phone, email or text, will sport my Real Madrid
jersey and hopefully will be celebrating all day.

Who are you rooting for on Sunday?
