Last night I attempted one of man's, or woman's, greatest feats. Some argue it is comparable to scaling Mt. Everest during a snow storm. Friends of those who have undertaken this challenge have been quoted as saying, "He was never the same. His once confident and excited attitude was so much more subdued. He doesn't like to talk about it, but something inside him broke." Few have accomplished it, but none have come out unscathed. The energy and endurance required for such a feat has often surpassed IronMan, Olympic, and World champion athletes. Albert Einstein did not have the intelligence to outwit or outsmart this match. Lance Armstrong admitted that, "I would rather compete in the Tour d'France 5 times in a row, than do that!" Stephen Colbert and Chuck Norris both agreed that if they were Superman this would be their kryptonite.
Why would I choose to take on this challenge, then? Well, because I love fútbol and I want to experience it in its fullest.
That's right: I, a gringa, took on a Latino in a debate about soccer.
I wont admit that I won, but I sure as heck didn't lose.
