Argentineans take their soccer (futbol) very seriously and this World Cup is no different. The city of Buenos Aires has set up an outdoor viewing location for the matches throughout the mundial at Plaza San Martin and has a number of tents set up showing the history of the World Cup.
This afternoon, I went to watch a bit of the first match between Uruguay and France. It was pretty funny watching the game because I actually met some of the Uruguayan players in person when I was on vacation in Punta del Este, Uruguay last March!
Tomorrow is the first match featuring Argentina and the streets are already buzzing. The match starts at 11:00 so I will get to Plaza San Martin by 9:30 to get a good spot and take part in the festivities when (not if) they win against Nigeria.
