Peru v Paraguay, Yet another win...

As many of you know game day can be big. You put on the jersey, you count down the hours, you may even listen to the radio commentary. Now take Green Bay and magnify it to an EXTREME... where not only are you wearing green but the entire bus is green filled, the street is lined with flags, and everywhere you turn someone is wearing one of those foam cheese things... except it's all RED. I made plans to watch the Paraguay Peru game about a week ahead of time. It's not a particularly important game in the scheme of things. Peru is dead last in the race to qualify for the world cup and my beloved albirroja is FIRST. At least it didnt seem important until... we ALMOST tied. Yes, that's right... it ALMOST happened, another Bolivia disaster. Luckily in the 37th min (2nd half) a goal was scored by a player I almost actually hate. What I found interesting about the game was not just all the drunken screaming really soaked in sweat fans, but how much I've turned into a rabid fan (I almost threw a sandal at the TV....). I could not tell you who won the super bowl (well maybe I could, stupid New England... but that's Dan's fault...). My point is that throughout my life I've been a fan of sports and yet have never been THIS much of a fan. Watching a whole country come together is refreshing. Not worrying about being robbed cause everyone is inside watching tv, also refreshing. What would have been a great end to a perfect day was dashed by a graceful fall into tree exiting bus with girly scream... (I'm fine, a little scraped but fine...) GO PARAGUAY!!
