Spain 2 Honduras SUCKS

We returned from the park and changed in time to get on the Thatchery shuttle to Ellis Park for our second game together. Andy was the All-American for the night. There were other Americans on the shuttle with us. A group of loud Yankees that seemed like they played Lacrosse and a know-it-all guy from Texas. Listening to the two groups interact was awesome.

The beer rules at the beginning of the tournament were very lax. Not only were the beers cheap, but you could ask for as many as you wanted. We sent Andy on a beer run, and they gave him a box of beer for the game.

We were rooting for Spain in this game. I lived in Spain for a while and loved it. They are an impressive team with beautiful, fun supporters. They had lost to the Swiss so we were expecting blood. And you know how in Bowl Week people will root for their conference to win for any number of reasons, primarily selfish. That does NOT apply for the CONCACAF. The USA gets spit on everywhere we play against except for Trinidad and Tobago. We even chant 'nobody likes us USA.' I actively rooted against Mexico and Honduras in every game, even when the Mexicans were playing the Frogs. Of course in that game I was really just rooting for a 10 redcard game.

David Villa scored a couple REALLY good goals, but then choked on a penalty kick. We came up with the rule that if you miss a PK, then your team is not allowed to pass it to you every time for you to get a hat trick.

We were a pretty American group of Spain fans. Scott repped Fabregas.

We got back to the shuttle, and the LAX BROS held us up for an hour. Apparently they went to a bar after the game. Then they were SO loud on the way back we could not even hear ourselves. It was time to get a car.
