Soccer, or “Futbol”
as it is known here, is a serious in Argentina. The love for this
favorite past-time gathers people of all ages, gender, nationality, and creed to rally for their favorite soccer team.
With this year’s
World Cup, people have taken to going to bars, restaurants, or a friend’s house
to watch the game. They even go out onto the streets to celebrate and to show
their team spirit.
I was actually trying to get to the mall to meet a friend for some coffee, but as you can see, it wasn't easy to get through the crowd.
Fans paraded outside Patio Olmos, one of Cordoba Capital’s shopping
malls in the downtown area. Now, I'll admit, I never followed any sports back in the States, and I certainly don't in Argentina, but it's kind of nice seeing the locals gather together for something other than a protest.
