World Cup Tico style

What a great way to start the World Cup. Watching the opening game on a roof top in San Jose listening to the roars from the locals in the streets below who were gathered outside shop windows all dressed in their red team shirts. The TV was showing the match in the bar on the rooftop and there was great excitement all the way through the game, especially when Costa Rica scored two goals. Afterwards, San Jose was a sea of red and it reminded me of rugby international days in Cardiff. So, no big celebrations tonight for the Ticos, but they are just as excited about England's game tomorrow as the travelling Brits are.

Just as patriotic as the Welsh!
