Panama vs. Colombia

Wow!! What a game on Thursday! I was ssoooooo happy! I could hear people shouting at the apt. building behind my house. It was really great. We beat Colombia 3-2 on the soccer game and our team is now on their way to the final game against none other than the U.S. The strongest soccer teams in the area are the United States and Mexico. We are nothing compared to them. So the final on Sunday is going to be kind of like a David against Goliath game. I hope they win, but if they don't the happiness they have given us here in Panama is more than enough. Never before (that I know of) have we ever been on a final of any kind, so this is huge for us. And a second place is much better than nothing.

Colombia is a team that has been in the World Cup and everything, so beating them is just great! The media in Colombia was saying that they were going to beat us so they must be swallowing their words now. We beat Colombia twice during this tournament...I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!! But it feels so good. Colombia scored their second goal like one minute before the game ended, I was really worried that in less than 2 minutes they would be able to do what they couldn't do before, tie the game, but thank God that didn't happen.
