World Cup Quarterfinalists. . . a lot of SOUTH AMERICANS!

While the quarter finals didn't go too well for my brothers and sisters of South America, I was impressed by the representation there. 4 teams from South America in the quarter finals! For such an impoverished continent, they do know how to play some futbol (soccer).

I was especially impressed with Paraguay, one of the three poorest nations in South America (along with Ecuador and Bolivia.) They had an amazing showing at the World Cup and even held Spain off in the Quarterfinals until the 82nd minute! Adelante Paraguay!!!!

Esther's two favorite teams were eliminated in the round of 16. She was disappointed and pretty much lost interest in the world cup after that. :)
