Today is the first day of World Cup 2014.!! And I am super excited because Croatia is playing the opening game against Brazil.!! How spectacularly awesome 🙂 And albeit, a little scary too, since Croatia did not even qualify for World Cup 2010. However, in their World Cup debut in 1998, they finished third.!! I’m hoping for a similar end result this time around.
Soccer holds a special place in my heart because as long as I can remember, I’ve been going to soccer (football) matches with my father. But the World Cup has an even greater hold on me because it reminds me of my first year in Mexico. I will tell you all about that trip tomorrow.! Until then, please enjoy this video supporting the Croatian soccer team. And let’s bring it Croatia.!!!

That was so cool I watched it twice!!
It was a really good game.!! It would have been better if Croatia scored one more goal or Brazil one less.!! haha…
Oh yes.!! And the commercial was way cool too 🙂
I remember Suker.
Yes, he’s still around. Now, he’s president of the Croatian Football Federation.!
Wow. I did not know that!!
Yup.!
Croatia had some nasty luck in the first game Thursday, Rose. Such an unfair referee! But, never mind – we soldier on. Croatia plays Cameroon on Wednesday so I’l be glued to the screen at the time 😀
I completely agree.!! But yes, nothing we can do about it, so basically “next.!” I too will be watching that game. I am also super excited because on my birthday Croatia will be playing Mexico.!! I will be biting all of my fingernails off 🙂
