Soccer

Hondurans love their soccer team. It is a national craze. Last year when Honduras made it to the world cup a national holiday was called.

Today, people in all parts of the country, were up early to watch the game between Honduras and Chile. Everyone that had any kind of access to a tv was up watching. Many places in town opened so people could come watch. I am sure 95% or more were donned in blue and white jerseys.

The kids here at Casa wanted to watch the game. Mommy Karen got everyone up at 4:45 and had devo with them and they all went to her apartment to watch the game. I heard them cheering once when the Honduran goalie saved the ball from going into the goal. Dorian, being from Nicaragua, was for Chile. He had Maryuri and Nohemy rooting for Chile as well. Maryuri is easily swayed and Nohemy likes to go against the crowd, no matter what the situation.

After the game, everyone dressed and went to school. Unfortunately, the game ended in a way other than the way we would have liked. I guess Dorian, Maryuri and Nohemy were the only three people in the country that were happy about the outcome.
