Futbol and (not) Smoking

Uruguay is looking good. Their impressive win against South Africa was made a little sweeter when those stupid horns finally fell silent for a minute. And now with today's win over Mexico, it seems our boys in light blue are on a roll.

 Here's Forlán doing what he does best.








Quit smoking. Seriously. Check this story from Slate, it mentions Uruguay's awesome 'kid smoking' ad.
The tobacco companies are playing their usual games, but reason is gaining on them.

Cheers

Vincent turns 10

Vincent had his 10th birthday this past weekend and the party was a success. One of our usual places was chosen; Wimbledon. They have a large covered field for futbol and another paved court for everything else.
Vincent invited both 4th grade classes and almost everybody came. Add a few friends of Luca and we had quite a crowd.









The teenage 'helpers' were great as usual keeping everybody active and we could hardly clear the place out after three hours of craziness. It was a blast. OK, for me it was a bit less than blasty, but we did watch an important futbol match btw. Uruguay and Paraguay. Uruguay won two, almost three nil and it was a really good game.
