Day 18

DAY 18

 

 

6/29/14. RIO DE JANEIRO - If you have never been on a moto taxi in your life, please do! Mini Papi was clueless they even existed, and (after he got on one today) found out how dangerous they could be. But also how fast they can take you places. Moto taxi riders in Brazil don't respect anything... they ride in-between lanes, ignore red street lights... to summarize, they have their own rules. And, most importantly, they are 'wicked' cheap!

 

Today, the World Cup said good bye to a Mexican team that was minutes away from eliminating one of the strongest squads of the competition (Netherlands) and advancing to its first quarter-finals outside of 'azteca' territory ever. Nevertheless, the story of the day is that Costa Rica's historic run continues for, at least, one more game, as they defeated Greece, 5 to 3, in penalty kicks.

 

TODAY'S RESULTS:

NETHERLANDS 2 - 1 MEXICO

GREECE 1 (3) - (5) 1 COSTA RICA
