It’s true, that’s the sometimes brutal reality we all have to face. In 1984, I was born in Uruguay, South America. It’s always been my home, even though I wouldn’t leave my current home — Sweden — for anything. But Uruguay will always be in my heart no matter what, and that’s why I’m so pissed off right now because I just finished watching the semifinal of the Copa America in Venezuela between Uruguay and Brazil. The uruguayans actually worked their asses off all game long and managed a 2 - 2 tie after 90 minutes and it all came down to penalties. Of course, we started with a miss but after a couple of saves and misses, Uruguay had the chance to end it all by just making the freakin’ goal on their seventh penalty shot. Pablo Garcia steps up… shoots… hits the post and misses! The rest is history.
You say, “That can happen to anyone!”. True, but I say “Bulls***!”. It’s always been this way… if they win, they still make everyone sweat until the last second of the game. If they don’t win, everyone gets mad because we’ve probably had the chance to go further but we BLEW it.
As aforementioned, I’ll always love my home country but really, some things never change and I wouldn’t bet on someone trying to do something about it any time soon.
