Last night I went to bed at 11pm, got up twice during the
night, woke up at 6am and got up at 6:30.
At 8am I had coffee and croissant at Los Mejores and caught the next bus. At the metro station I bought 5 tickets and
they were all put on a metro card I intend to use in the future when lines are
too long. I met Teresa at the Envigado
Exito at 9:30 and we took a taxi to Oviedo
and were there by 10am. I bought 2
tickets to today’s USA vs Germany game for 5mil each and also 2 tickets to
Saturday’s Colombia vs Uruguay game for
7mil each. (Maybe I accidentally chose
preferred seating?) Anyway, this time we
will have very good seats.
We had very good seats for today’s game; we should there
were only 5 other people in the theatre.
It was an exciting game despite the fact that at the half it was 0-0 and
the Portugal vs Ghana game was
also tied 1-1. While we were waiting for
the 2nd half to begin I went down the stairs and picked up the Cine Colombia
beach ball and tossed it around amongst the few people in the theatre.
In the 2nd half Germany finally scored in the 55th
minute on a rebound shot off the goalie.
The final score was 1-0 and Portugal
ended up beating Ghana
2-1 so here are the final standings for Group G:
GOALS GOALS
TEAM PTS SCORED GIVEN UP
GERMANY 7 7 2
USA 4 4 4
PORTUGAL 4 4 7
GHANA 1 4 6
So the US
advances to the final 16 on the basis of the tie breaker between them and Portugal, the US
having a Goal differential of 0 and Portugal -3.
They play Belgium
next Tuesday at 3pm and games are now single elimination; lose and you go home. I’m going to have to tell Olga she needs to
finish cleaning by 1pm so I can meet Teresa in Envigado at 2pm.
After the game we went downstairs and I wanted to try the
chicken fajitas at one of the restaurants but while we were standing in line we
realized we didn’t have enough money between us so we went down a couple more
levels and had a lunch that reminded me a lot of Panda Express.
We took a bus back to Envigado and spent some time at her
brother’s bar. She had to help watch the
bar because her brother was in bed with gout and only his girlfriend was
there. At one point a lovely young lady
with a very nice figure came in and did some business at the bar. Of course I wasn’t paying much attention to
what she was doing there. The most
negative thing I could think about how she looked is that it seemed like she
was wearing high heeled gym shoes. Of
course Teresa, who was sitting next to me, had to spoil the moment soon after
she left with one word – Hombre. I never
would have believed it! I told Teresa at
least I’m sure she’s not a man. Lol.
While we were waiting there I learned Teresa has 2 brothers
and 5 sisters between the ages of 45 and 57.
I told her I would like to take trips to see Manizales
and Salento and she said she would like to go to Armenia but it’s so far away it
would have to be a Friday thru Sunday trip.
She is coming over to my apartment at 10pm on Sunday and we’re
going to spend the day together.
T-shirt of the day: F CK All I need is U.
This is another t-shirt I saw yesterday at El Tesoro. Maybe cleverness is where the money is?
