Spain vs. Chile

Apologies for not updating this in a couple days but we have been without internet at the house. Therefore I would like to take this time to update you all on what has happened since our last post.

After the exciting USA game on Wednesday, Thursday was an off day for us which we spent sleeping in, shopping, playing cards, and generally just relaxing. Friday was another day of shopping followed by the Spain vs. Chile game in Pretoria that evening. Once again Spain proved to be victorious, winning 2-1, but Chile more than held their own, especially in the first half. It was nice to see Spain’s beautiful passing game again, and they definitely have to be considered one of the favorites to win it all.

As I write this we have just arrived at the game park (more to come on this later) and are getting geared up for the USA-Ghana Round of 16 game tonight. Speaking of the USA game, if you haven’t heard a few of us were on TV last time (if you have footage of this please let us know), so keep your fingers crossed the trend continues and you will get to see our smiling faces once again.

P.S. Drew, my Fanta is safe
