I called it!

I totally called it.

Weeks ago, when the Groups for the FIFA tournament came out, I saw the possibility of Portugal and England going into a head to head match-up. Disaster. I prayed that one team would be kicked out early; not caring which country chose to kick it. It would solve a lot of my problems! For those of you who don't know why this is a problem, it's because my husband is from the UK and my family is from Portugal.

Canada is a wonderful country, full of multi-culturalism. I particularly enjoy the 2 or 3 flags I see on car windows as they drive by showing off their cultural pride. I particularly enjoy seeing people walking around the city with a genuine interest in what flag just drove by.

We're very lucky to live in a country where this is permitted. Can you imagine living in Namibia or something and all you saw was the same flag over and over again!? Boooring.

Thanks for strutting your stuff, Canada.
It's great to see the country coming together, even if it's for a competitive sport like football (soccer)!
