¡Vamos España!

     I've been watching a lot more of 2026's World Cup than I ever thought I would. USA had a pretty good showing this time.

    Out of the four teams left in the tournament, I'm pulling very hard for Spain. I have some deep Spanish roots and have been rooting for them from the beginning alongside the US.

    Spain has had an incredible run, not allowing a goal until last week's game against Belgium. Their defense and goaltending have been phenomenal, and they have some pretty strong pieces on offense as well.

    Tomorrow at 3:00 EDT, Spain will go toe to toe with France in the semifinal matchup. Spain has the tools to pull off the victory, but I'm pretty confident FIFA wants a rematch between France and Argentina, so it's going to be tough. I'm expecting a lot of bad refereeing decisions against the Spanish squad. And sadly for me, the game will not be shown at my workplace...I'll be able to check my phone periodically, but that's about it.

    And since my fandom won't be present at the television, I'd like to ask all neutral soccer fans reading this post to root for Spain with me. When they win I'll be able to watch them in the final, which would be amazing! Not to mention I'll be able to wear my España jersey for that one LOL

    Until tomorrow's matchup, thank you for reading, have a great start to the week, and ¡Vamos España!
