Argentina is a soccer crazy country. Walk anywhere on any street in the city and you will see just how crazy they are for their futbol. Billboards and posters are scattered throughout the city. The colors of the argentine national team are always within an eyes glance. Players take on a super heroe like status as their images are plastered all around the city.

Turn on the tv and it's hard not to find a channel with a World Cup countdown. Are they counting down to the start of the World Cup, the first game between Brazil and Mexico? Noooo they are counting down to Argentinas first game, the World Cup starts and ends with Argentina. Im really excited to be in this country where the whole country rallies around their team and the excitement for the World Cup is palpable. I just hope Argentina makes it to the final and therefor the whole country will be happy and cheerful. I fear that if Argentina does lose, everyone will lose interest and be extremely grumpy. That is the pompous some what arrogant attitude of the argentine people.

If Argentina does make it to the final it might be crazy to go downtown and watch the game on the big screen, it would probably be like Madrid when Spain won. I can't imagine the celebration. They say that it was a wild fun happy celebration in 1978 and 1986. Hopefully 2014 will be their year.

They even have soccer themed deodorant. I wonder if iniesta uses it?
