the World Cup finale today

and I was sad Argentina didn't win

'cause I wanted a South American team to win

and I like Messi. I think he's a good player

but I'm not too disappointed

because soccer isn't such a big deal in America.

The World Cup is very interesting this year.

Well, I was very happy to see my team do well.

We were in a very hard group

to make it out of with Portugal and Germany

and even Ghana. But, we did pretty well

and I hope that we will continue to improve

and be better

in future World Cups.

I really also like Costa Rica. I like to root for the "underdogs", I guess

the teams that are not

as favored to win.

But unfortunately, usually those teams don't do as well.

It's always the

European teams and the South American teams that

are the best. Yeah, I hope that one day

America does

well, if they don't win, I hope they just make it to the semi-finals.

I was interested, I have a few friends in Brazil

who were not in support

of Brazil winning the World Cup and they were happy that Brazil was eliminated

from the Cup because

they didn't like, I guess,

that the president spent or that the government, rather, spent so much money on

new stadiums

and when I guess there's more

important, or more pressing, issues that the country needs to address.

so I'm curious if you agree

with my friend's opinion or not.

I don't know a whole lot about Brazil, so I can't say

either way what I think

but yeah.The World Cup

makes me really want to visit Brazil even more than I already did

and I think it's a beautiful

country. I can't wait to see the next Olympics

which I'm pretty sure they're in Rio de Janeiro.

I can't say a whole lot about the Cup,

'cause I'm not the biggest soccer fan, but I hope everyone enjoyed watching it.

If any of you actually got to attend the games, I'd love to know what it's like.

what it's like

I've been to a few local hockey games, but I've never been to any

major sporting events other than that,

so I don't know what a really exciting soccer game

is like to see in person.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great day or night.

I guess it's pretty late in Brazil

at this time. Anyway, bye!
