Fútbol, no sólo para los hombres
My love of fútbol was made well-known during this year’s World Cup. Since then I have had to find other ways to entertain myself, from playing fútbol with the kids, to watching Javier Hernández play for Manchester United, (I like him better with El Tri, but I’ll take my “Chicharito” any way I can get him.)
I also spent some time encouraging people to sign a petition in support of our bid to bring the World Cup to the United States in 2022, which we ended up losing to Qatar. ¡Qué desilusión! … I have to say though, their proposed stadiums are absolutely breathtaking.
Still don’t feel better about losing our bid for the World Cup? Okay, here are some events to look forward to: The 2011 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, the 2011 Copa América and the Women’s World Cup 2011!
Speaking of women, I just saw a report this evening about a Salvadoran woman named Eva Linares. Ms. Linares is newsworthy because she is the only female fútbol commentator in El Salvador, most likely the only one in Central America, and possibly even the only one in all of Latin America. I think she is super chévere.

Love that woman!!! I’d like to hear her commentate!! And I’m with ya – no reason it is just for men. Love me some futbol!! I mean why else would I have let myself get hit up side the nose with a ball in a game?
LOL … That’s love of the game ;)
Eva ha metido un golazo al romper con una tradición dominada por los hombres! Good for her!
De acuerdo!

Hoping she inspires a generation of guanaca fútbol commentators! :)
