Olympic football


Two days ago I had the opportunity to experience something I have not experienced in my 3 years in Belgium.

The Belgium football team was in the semifinals of the olympic tournament and for the first time I saw a lot of people cheering for their national team, even in the office people was talking about football... this is the first time I experienced this, in Mexico it is normal that everybody supports the national team when they play, but here in Belgium no... I have been in two games and in both there have been more fans of the opposite team.

They even put a huge screan in the middle of the Grand Place in order to show the game.... unfortunately the Belgian team lose... so all this suddenly nationalism spirit is over....

Another important thing to notice is that the Olympics are almost over and believe it or not, Belgium still has not won any medal...
