World Cup Champions!

Bien hecho, España!!!  World Cup Football Soccer Champions!

For those that know me well, you are probably shocked that I even care about the World Cup.  It may or may not be true that upon arrival to Spain I didn't even know what off-sides meant - details, details.  However, after a year of following Barca, not only do I know what off-sides means, but I have actually gotten really into the sport.  Joe is ecstatic, but unsure of if this will last.  I think my dad is sad, and hoping this doesn't last.

Even though we were travelling a lot during the month of World Cup action, we always found a way to watch (especially if Spain was playing).  Here's Joe watching Argentina (Go Messi!) from a little soccer bar in Rhodes, Greece...

Unfortunately we were not in Spain for the final match against the Netherlands.  Instead we were in a London pub surrounded by Holland supporters.  But we all know who had the last laugh, muahahaha.

Since we weren't in BCN for the final I don't have pictures of the craziness.  But here are a few from the night when Barca won La Liga (the Spanish Leauge) in May.  Multiply this by a million to imagine the reaction when Spain won the WC.

Plaza Catalunya

Las Ramblas




And now the countdown for Brazil 2014!
