¡Viva La Furia Roja! My teams are Spain and the USA. Fútbol is family, friends, food, fellowship and fandom. I get all dressed up with my jersey but also wear face paint and sometimes even dye my hair. I like to decorate as well & have a growing collection of small international flags. I always love eating and drinking based on the teams playing. Spanish tortilla, manchego, olives, chorizo y jamón is a staple at my home for Spain games but I also love trying new things when other countries are playing. I remember we had a French-Croatian breakfast spread for the 2018 final. I was happy to find some Croatian brandy. In 2014 we had a German and Argentine lunch buffet, with German beer and Argentine wine. I love being festive. I had friends who would have dance parties after matches with the folk music from the different countries. I may try that in the future. There's something special and magical about the world coming together in celebration.

I am so enjoying this year's FIFA . It's nice to see some of the countries not expected to score and surprisingly play very well. I have no favorites ( well maybe Spain,Argentina,Croatia

And what to eat. Hmm. I've binged all of Taco Chronicles on netflix and getting my fix of birria and tinga from my local food truck 😋
