Bye Bye Gallos

Queretaro no longer has a major league soccer team. A week ago Sunday was the game that determined if the Gallos Blancos of QRO would stay in the league or drop down to a lower league. All they had to do was TIE the game, and it wasn't even against a really good team... But they lost. Atlas, the other team, scored 2 goals in the first 20 minutes. That was the point where I quit watching.

But there were festivities in the Centro for the game (I'm starting to realize that there are festivities in the Centro for anything that can possibly be celebrated). Two really big screens were set up in one of the plazas and people came to watch the game there. I didn't stick around to see the reaction when the Gallos lost!

For those of you who know QRO, YES, the people ARE standing on the "pancake fountain" in Plaza Constitucion and it IS turned on! That surprised me!

And for those of you who have never been to QRO, here is the fountain that the people are standing on:


So, there goes my chances of going to a Chivas game (my favorite soccer team, that WOULD have come to QRO to play the Gallos had they not lost!)
