Time is relative. So why now sorry I last wrote, I think so far and I think they may already spent several years but has really only been a couple of weeks. Insurance
the first question of my three readers will be: How is the generality of the ills that plagued?
I have the pleasure to inform you that is strong recovery in total and almost completely surrendered to their arduous daily work. Good for her, but better for everyone else. Especially this suffering apprentice writer, the truth and did not know where to put it.
I have many things to tell, however, I pass the most important issue that is beginning now and this could be none other than the world cup.
I remember almost 25 years ago, when they wrote, was about eight years and lived in a conscious way the first world cup football.
I must confess to the friendly competition that helps me with reading, the fact is not a person extremely soccer. But please tell me Who can resist the seductive fits a carnal world cup? Moreover, when the country you were born, is part of that select group of participating nations.
remember the 86 World Cup in Mexico as if they had been Mexico 2009. I remember the warm reception of the green highlight amarela to Guadalajara and the controversial goal that knocked out Spain in the match between these two.
remember Maradona's rise and his goal which even the salesman scoffed chelas. Of course I also remember his goal with the "hand of God." Since then I thought that it plays the chubby, but I fell ill. I remember the extraordinary
Belgium goalkeeper Jean-Marie Pfaff and my mother sighs emitted by the blond curls of the goalkeeper. I also remember that was the last world of Michel Platini.
I remember attending the Brazil match against Algeria and my dad bought me a hideous white socks with their respective flags, which were then my fascination. I also remember the nameless selection meet in Poland, which I think still not arrived, when they were returning.
remember the tears in the face of the Brazilians, when they were eliminated by France. The goal that knocked him to Mexico against Germany and we eliminated on penalties, as normally happens. I remember the great match that
Argentina was the final against Germany and happiness they won the first. I also remember that liver clot called Neri Pumpido, Argentina goalkeeper and the slights he made to Mexico. However, Mexico
86, went down in history as one of the best world unquestioningly. I think part of it did, because the world realized that despite all, Mexico is one of the happiest places on earth and nobody can beat us for the pachanga and the party. Neither criminal.
Most importantly (at least for me) was that there I fell in love with the world of football and although the Olympics are very nice and much older, the world is global.
South Africa, now organizer of this contest, reminds me of Mexico in the spirit of its people. They have many problems as a country, have a wealth of natural resources and that all the echoes of "Apartheid", even resonate in the collective mind of this people.
Thus ... have also proved very good for the party and the world in football that leaves much to be desired, it does when we see the warmth and happiness of the people who make this nation multicolor.
two days ago, Mexico did the unthinkable. Beat France by a convincing two-nil, which has the country wild with joy. Some
get angry and say this is all bread and circuses, that Mexico is not to celebrate, there are things more important than that, how is it possible that we are celebrating victory in a ball game when we have so much violence, drugs, bad and political issues in the pipeline?
To all those critics I say, please to go far to hell and let the excitement of being put out so desired, a country that has seen so little in recent times.
Says a friend, football is the most important thing in the least important. Of course I do not think it is more momentous than all our problems, but if I see my country happy, I do not care that the deceased is a football game. Because
football may be just a game and the world a spectacle, but the fact that in Mexico, a party may put us all to pause and unite us against outsider and also provoke a collective joy we as a country. I think it is a antibiotic injection for all our ills.
Now I think that even a draw against us Paisito goes well, the truth is that I want Mexico to win, to be first in our group and that stale Charruas settle their differences with Argentina in quarterfinals; team that we do not want bump until we warmed up a little bit more and we win complete with technical clown that was once a great player.
