We’re an Argentine / Kiwi household. Argentina has one of the best football teams in the world, and New Zealand one of the best rugby teams.
Tonight our countries played each other in the Rugby World Cup semi final. Maru and I had a fun week bantering about which team was likely to win. Despite the joking, we already had a “Football / Rugby agreement” in place.
We each support our respective countries in both sports, but the moment one of our teams gets knocked out in a competition, we become a 100% fan of the other country’s team.
I loved cheering for Argentina in last year’s scintillating Football World Cup Final. And after the Kiwi win this evening, Maru and I will be cheering for the boys in black in next week’s Rugby final!
