Day 8

The morning was a rather normal one, sitting in class participating and fighting off a hangover. The afternoon had two very good games first chile vs. honduras then the shocker of the tournament a 1-0 Swiss defeat of the heavily favored spanish. Their defense was impenetrable, the Spanish must have had 3 times more opportunities at goal but were unable to put one in.

I am very excited to see Spain lose and my only hope is that they will play better and advance as the 2 seed. Why?! I have tickets to the match which features 1G and 2H later this month, a possible Brazil vs. Spain matchup wooooo.

For the South Africa match versus Uruguay I headed out with the boys (fred, josh, danny and mike) to the square. We have become regulars at a bar there called Wellington Vo, there are flat screens and tables to watch the game at. Starting the night with a jagerbomb was a sure tale sign for a night of excess. As the game waged on the consumption continued mostly Castle beer which is a very popular beverage here and any shot put before me lol.

Dancing flirting and enjoying the night unfortunately the bafana bafana (a term meaning those boys) lost but the night would live in infamy for the drunken shenanigans back at the lodge. Needless to say today is my first real day of rest since I arrive. We are going out to dinner tonight and resting for the BIG USA game tomorrow yay.
