Friday morning I sat Lily in front of some World Cup soccer and tried explaining the rules in basic 'toddler' language. That the red team were kicking one way, the yellow team the other...and that every now and again they stopped the game because someone was 'naughty'. She was yelling "go equador", while I yelled "go Poland"....we were both giggling pretty hard....
4 years ago, during the last World Cup, Jason & I were backpacking around Spain. I remember being in a little town, in the middle of nowhere, called Teruel....and watching the local police car drive very slowly down the main street in the evening....with one of the games blaring loudly from the speaker on the top of the car....for the benefit of those sitting on the patios!
Australia won their first game this morning! Their last appearance in a World Cup....32 years ago! GO SOCCEROOS!!!!
Photos are of Teruel & surrounding area (Albaraccin, Cuenca).
