I fit perfectly in a country where soccer – or should I say
FUTBOL- is the most popular sport! It is a strange yet satisfying feeling to
being genuinely interested in whatever the sport headline of the day is. The
Cadiz soccer team is in the second-tier of teams, meaning that they don’t play
the big guns like Real Madrid and F.C. Barcelona. However, they hold their own,
and are number one in their division this year with the possibility of moving
up next year.

| Goooooooooooooool! |
This Saturday we Americans decked ourselves in Blue and
Yellow and set off to cheer Cadiz on to… a disappointing 1-1 tie versus La
Linea. That didn’t damper our enthusiasm, however, and due to our animation and
excessive facepaint, our picture made it into the local online newspaper story
about the game. This is the 3rd game I’ve been to and I hope to go
to a few more this year.
