More on the World Cup: Mexico Makes History

Here's a Friday newspaper from our city of León. The headline reads: Tri (referring to the Mexican soccer team) makes history!

Indeed, Mexico played against France in the World Cup on Thursday and won 2-0.

It was the first time Mexico beat France in the World Cup. It was also the first time Mexico beat a previous World Cup champion in a World Cup tournament. Talk about exciting!

Soccer stuff is all over the city. Here's a restaurant near our home that put up flags for the teams in the World Cup -

A stand on a street corner selling Mexican soccer-related things -
And it's in our home too -

Go Mexico! Here's to another week of great matches in the World Cup! *

*though I'm referring to Mexico in the World Cup here, Mike and I are also cheering for the U.S. in South Africa. We both took the morning off on Friday to watch the U.S. play Slovenia. The match ended in a 2-2 draw.
