We're going to the Finals!

Everyone's favorite soccer team played here in Porto Alegre last night. It was the second game against Chivas from Mexico. We won the first 2-0.

I bought our tickets last Friday and we were ready to go. I went into Bronwyn's room last night about 8:00 last night and told her to get ready to go (remember big games start at 10:00 at night). She asked if I would be mad if we didn't go to the game. Something about 3 tests she had to take today and tomorrow. Her last three tests ever of high school and she had to pass them to graduate next month. Talk about nit picky! That gene comes from her mother. It's called nerdious genos (no need to look it up......it's the name of a gene). For me to miss an important game for the sake of doing good on tests never did make sense.

Garrett, on the other hand, had to miss the game as well. That was a disciplinary decision made by him (he chose missing seeing a game as his punishment for a family infraction instead of missing playing in his soccer school practice yesterday). That gene comes from me. It's called ratherplaysportsthanstudious genos (I took lots of biology classes in physical therapy school so you can trust me on the name of this one too).

So we stayed home and I watched the game on television.

Below are highlights. Sorry for the Portuguese comments (unless you are Brasilian, are a missionary in Brasil or, just for fun, learned Portuguese). For those of you who don't speak or understand Portuguese, all you need to know about what they are saying is that Inter is the best team in the world......or something like that.


We are the first Brasilian team to ever make the final of this tournament. The South American Cup was started in 2002 and we hope to be the first from our country to win this championship.

Keep preaching it Pops!
