The World Cup’s Sweet Sixteen: Argentina (2); Mexico (1)…and Germany wins too!

What a stressful match. 120 minutes of excitement. It’s kind of unfortunate that Argentina had to meet Mexico so early on in the elimination stage. I was really happy that we won but very empathetic for my Mexican friends. It was a really even game and Mexicans played wonderfully. This time, Argentina had a bit more luck. It could have gone either way.


But in the end we all celebrated together. Because if you are a football fan, it’s better to play well and lose then to play poor and win. And I was really happy to hear that many Mexicans friends tell me they were going to support Argentina the rest of the way. Football brings us together, even in defeat. Where else could such things happen other than at the World Cup?
