Let's Go

"Come on Belen let's go!" Michelle yelled at me. She took my earphones out of my ears.

"Alright alright I'm going I'm going," I grumbled at her.

"I'm so excited this is gonna be so fun I know you're going to have fun!" Michelle yelled. She was usually a really calm person but she was really excited for this trip.

"I don't even like soccer and I know you know that." I told her.

"I know you don't like it but it's a whole different experience when you're actually in the stadiums! The whole atmosphere is amazing!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me outside to the cab that was waiting for us.

I yanked my arm out of her grasp and walked into the cab. I scooted over to let her sit. "I don't see how being around a bunch of sweaty loud people is fun."

"Well it is," Michelle said. "Plus, it's not just any sweaty loud people, they're Mexicans! Mexicans have such a great sense of humor and we yell at everything it's great!"

"I know, Michelle. I'm Mexican too." I rolled my eyes at her.

"Well, it's great. You'll have fun I know it."  We were on our way to LAX to head to Chicago. And in Chicago we were going to watch Mexico's first game against Cuba for the CONCACAF Gold Cup. After that we were going to go to the rest of their games and follow them throughout the whole tournament.

I didn't really know what this  tournament was so I asked Michelle to explain it to me.

"Oh okay, so the CONCACAF Gold Cup is a tournament held every two years. It's a tournament only held here in the CONCACAF region which is North America and the Caribbean. The winner of this tournament goes to Confederation's cup that is basically a mini world cup. Are you following?" Michelle asked me.

"Yea yea" I said.

"Okay. So Confederation's Cup is held every four years like the World Cup, and it's held in the same place that the World Cup is held at, so this time it's going to be in Russia 2017."

"So then wouldn't that mean there's two Gold Cups before confederation's? What if two different teams win?" I asked her.

"I was getting to that." Michelle said.

"Oh okay sorry."

"So since there's two that means the winners of the tournaments have to play a playoff game to see who goes to confederation's. Last time, in 2013, USA won. So this time when Mexico wins they'll have to play a playoff game against USA to see who goes."

"Oh okay I get it I get it. When Mexico wins?" I asked.

"Yes."Michelle said. "Because Mexico will win this tournament. They have to. You know they're the Kings of CONCACAF?"

"Who? Mexico?" I asked.

"Yea! Mexico has won this thing six times! The most ever! But USA is really close they've won it five times."

"Oh well hopefully we'll stay on top" I smiled at her. This was actually pretty interesting.

We got to the airport and Michelle practically jumped out of the cab. I paid the driver and we went into the airport to go pick up our boarding passes and check in our luggage. It was 9am and our plane left at 11 so we still had some time to kill.

"Let's go get some pizza." I told Michelle.

"Okay"she said. We went to get pizza at some organic place there at the airport and then we went to go find somewhere to sit. "Since we still have alot of time, I'm going to tell you about the players so you're more familiar! Okay?" She asked.
