The FIFA World Cup 2010 has come to an end, but the most magnificent sporting event in the world left us with over 140 incredible goals, controversial plays, bad calls, a few injuries and a new World Champion: Spain!For the last month, we have been able to spend some very good quality time as a family as we engaged in this wholesome family activity and together watched the history of world soccer written before our eyes. I have to say that due to a series of circumstances, this has to be the world cup that I have enjoyed the most of the 9 that I have been alive for. I really enjoyed watching the best players in the world perform magical plays on the field, "El Mago" Forlan with his belssed left leg, "La Pulga" Messi, "El Guaje" Villa and his 5 goals, "El Chicharito" and of course the great "Cuahu". The most exciting thing about this World Cup was that I had the opportunity to enjoy it with my family. Everyone, from me to Jabulani had the opportunity to enjoy the cup in their very own way. I have to say that I had been counting down the last 365 days for this event and when June 11th rolled around I was more than ready for it.
I had my flags hung on the walls, my shirts proudly displayed, my Jabulani in hand, the Chilaquiles and Sabritones on the table etc… I was ready for the game. I got together with my brothers Hugo and Moy and their families several times and we also spoke every day on the phone about the latest games and World Cup news. I can truly attest that the World Cup brings families together!
Because of a series of events, Ashley was able to watch all of the games from the comfort of her recliner or couch. I was very proud of her when she would talk about a great play or a player and for her new ability to call off-sides. She is absolutely fantastic. For the month of June, soccer has ruled our schedule and Ashley (the
best wife in the world may I say!) was in perfect agreement with it. She has enjoyed the World Cup to the fullest. I think that together we watched all of the games and all of the goals, inculding Televisa Deportes every night from 11:00 to midnight to make sure that we were getting all the coverage from South Africa. It has been one of the best months of my life. Now I have to wait 1460 days for the party to start again, this time in Brazil. I will start getting ready to receive this great event with the excitement that only a sporting event of this elephantine proportion deserves. The FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014.
