El burro al trigo...


My mother likes to say the following phrase :'De nuevo, el burro al trigo y el pollino a la cebada'. I cant translate it directly because i dont know what 'pollino' or 'cebada' are in english. However its a sentence (or a saying?) which can be brought up when someone makes the same mistake twice.

For the second time on a row, the Colombian National Football Team (La Selección Colombia) failed to qualify to the World Cup which will be held next year in Germany. For the second time we have to wait another 4 years (actually 5 because we still have to wait for the damm World Cup to begin). For the second time we have to see everyone celebrate, laugh, cry, fight and hope, while we sit back and wonder how it would feel to have your own team there.

Many say that its better like this because the team was really bad. I dont agree. I dont care if we get knocked down in every game... i just wanted to see my team there.

But well, there is not much to do anymore, except to hope that the teams that i dont want to win dont win (did it sound right?)... Brazil (they have already won too much), France (i have never liked that team), USA (when did they get to be that good?).. etc... the list goes on...
