One week ago, La Celeste faced Argentina’s
national team in Mendoza. JM wrote what I called a “cultural news flash”
previous to that game.
The final score was 1 to 0. As JM commented
the next day: “For us, it was a match we could afford to lose... And we did.”
But we enjoyed a little outing (and some brick-oven
pizza!) as a family.
On Tuesday evening, the game was local – in
the Estadio Centenario, only a couple blocks from where we live. So we went –
thanks especially to the gracious gift of friends who accompanied us to the local match against
Chile (back in mid-November).
A cold drizzle threatened to dampen the
mood of the evening – but not for long!
The first half ended with Uruguay winning 3
to 0 – with goals from Edi Cavani, Cristian Rodríguez, and Luis Suárez.
I especially loved seeing Cavani celebrate that first goal of the match by going to hug the coaching staff on the sidelines, visibly showing support for
their management of the team; in a world quick to criticize and be disloyal, he
was a good example to my Little People...
We went on to win the match with 4 to
0! From our vantage point, right behind the opponent’s net during the second half, we got to
see Cavani’s second goal up close!
SO thankful!
