June 05, 2005Two - Oh no!2-0. That was the final score from yesterday's Mexico-Guatemala match. Unfortunately the goose-egg was laid by Guatemala. The national team played very well for most of the match, only screwing-up defensively twice... both times resulting in goals for Mexico. Despite the outcome, the evening itself was muy alegre. I was accompanied by my friends Marc, Silvia and Silvia's simply stunning sisters. We watched the game at Tacontento, a Mexican restaurant (oh, the irony) in 4 Grados Norte, a bohemian-hip enclave in Guate City.
And then, to ease the post-game pain, we all went dancing. The national team's shot at redemption comes this Wednesday, when they face Costa Rica. If they can win there, it would be a HUGE step towards the "impossible dream" of Guatemala appearing in the World Cup for the first time ever! Keep your fingers crossed...

I'll keep my fingers crossed! Keep us posted on the games. Great pic, nothing better than hanging out with friends or family. Posted by: Vicki at June 6, 2005 07:44 AMAs a Christian I live in hope and have faith that ultimately good will truimph. But you do realise that by even mentioning the words redemption, impossible dream, slim chance, huge step, first time ever etc etc you have sealed the coffin of Guatemalan Football's entrance into the World Cup...nice one, Rob! 'Yes' you will say, 'but what about Liverpool last month?? They were considered outsiders for even qualifying for the Eurpoean Championships Final!...and only did they reach the final but they came back from 3-0 down at half time to score THREE goals within five minutes and then win on penalties after extra time!!!....... But as I said... 'You do realise that by even mentioning the words redemption, impossible dream, slim chance huge step etc etc you have sealed the coffin of Guatemalan Football's entrance into the World Cup...nice one, Rob!'. (Interestingly today the European Football Association announced that although Liverpool won the Cup beating all the other league teams of Europe they will not be allowed to defend their title next year because they didn't finish in the top 4 teams of their respective league in the UK... Damian P.S que hermanitas mas lovely!(easier to say than 'Silvia's simply stunning sisters') Posted by: damian at June 6, 2005 08:02 AMWell, I think you had all bases (sorry, goals) covered...loyal fans go dancing to celebrate or commiserate!
