Goooooal for gold!
Argentina won the gold in soccer tonight. I watched it at a bar not that far from the dorm. I loved the whole night. The scene was awesome. This place had all of your traditional games (darts, pool, fooseball, board games) but tonight I noticed they also have archery. Yes you heard right archery. There were people in the upstairs part of the bar shooting bows and arrows. When you think of a bar in Buenos Aires you don't think of shooting bows and arrows but this place had it. The game was good. 1-0 Argentina won. The only goal was on a one on one break away and the scorer lofted the ball with his off foot over the goalie. The bar went nuts. Everyone started chanting and banging the tables. I normally do not watch soccer but I must say I really enjoyed the entire expereince. When time ran out everyone sang and chanted. I wish I knew all the songs that they sang I enjoyed everyone else sing. I'm sure the soccer team is going to be the buzz of the town for the next two weeks or so. I guess I should brush up on my soccer words. Dale Argentina!
