World Cup

While surfing around in search of interesting sites on Latin American culture, I came across this funny little article about Ecuador's appearance in the upcoming World Cup (soccer, or "futball"). As an athlete, it got me thinking about how cool it would be to have an entire country rallying behind you. In America, our national sport is probably Football (American-style) and while everyone enjoys watching the Superbowl, I imagine that it simply does not compare to the patriotic intensity with which Latin American fans enjoy watching their nation compete in the World Cup. Just some food for thought...
