Soccer and beans are a religion here...

Sounds like a strange combination doesn't it?  Soccer and beans??

A Guatemalan commented to me that "futbol y frijoles" are a religion here.  It means that soccer and beans are a religion here in Guatemala.  I think it's a true statement.  It was interesting to hear him say that.  The Guatemalans love their soccer and they love to eat their beans. You can have all kinds of beans.

Life stops when a soccer game is going on.  The other day I was out and I saw that all the restaurants with TV's were full.  I could tell a soccer game was on. I arrived at the gym and all the TV's were on the soccer game. Of course I got interested in the game as well and enjoyed watching it.
