We are back in the States for several weeks to visit supporting churches and participate in a few conferences. My brother-in-law gave us tickets to see the Kansas City Wizards play Los Angeles (thanks David!). The soccer snob in me hates to admit it, but it was a good game. Especially since KC beat Beckham's team.
The highlight for me came in the second half when KC put in El Piojo Lopez. El Piojo's real name is Claudio and he is from our province of Cordoba in Argentina. He is a much loved player there, known for his great speed, huge heart, and a shot which is powerful if at times erratic. He played for several years on the national team. Lopez didn't score but he had a couple of good plays. On one he made a beautiful self-pass through the defender's legs. That was enough for me to leave satisfied.
The first picture is of us with the kids (Sarah, Carita, me, Becky, Daniel). The other is of Piojo on the jumbotron.
