Round 2

Wow! A few surprises in this round. Of course, our whole country is all ecstatic from its victory over France. Yet, I have a bitter-sweet feeling about it since I don’t know where France’s head was; it was as if they were absent from the game. Given this situation, Mexico could’ve scored at least one or two more goals, but their individualities got in the way. I think Mexico has come a long way to overcome this, but we’re still far from really playing as a whole team.

Yesterday’s game between Brazil and Ivory Coast ended up a mess. It started off extremely badly played and the second part was a joke. I have watched very few games, but this has got to be the worst game so far.

As for Spain, I’m very happy they’re back in the game. I feel they could’ve scored more —not including the failed penalty—, but they offered a good game to watch.

On to Round 3 that starts tomorrow with simultaneous games of Mexico vs. Uruguay and France vs. South Africa.

¡¡¡Vamos, México!!!
