Fútbol. La copa mundial. The World Cup has taken over Argentine life these past few weeks. Work stops during the games, meetings are rescheduled, and everywhere without a TV is temporarily closed. Yesterday was the craziest day yet with Argentina in the semifinals against Holland, 0-0 and the game ending with penalty kicks in which Argentina took the win! Everyone in the country went crazy with the win, people were crying all around me, dancing and cheering on the streets, honking their horns, bus drivers were throwing Argentine flags out the windows, and police officers shut down streets so people could crowd and cheer safely. The energy in this country right now is amazing and I can't wait for Sunday! Vamos Argentina! Vamos a la final!
