These Uruguayan Kids Freaking Out After Giménez's Goal Is What The World Cup Is About

The action yesterday at the World Cup is going to be a tough match day to beat. Uruguay and Egypt went toe-to-toe before a 90th minute header, Morocco gave up an own goal after dominating the entire match and Spain-Portugal was, well, you know.

But I have to say with all the late-game drama and unreal golazos, this video of Uruguayan kids celebrating José María Giménez’s goal at the death was my favorite. Colegio del Sur canceled classes so the little ninos could watch the match and their reaction to La Celeste's victory will surely make you smile.

Compartiendo la alegría y el amor a nuestra selección uruguaya, son como pájaros volando por todo el patio del recreo. Así festejamos el gol de @JoseMaGimenez13 hoy en el Colegio del Sur, Montevideo, Malvín, #LocuraCeleste #Rusia2018⁠ ⁠ #ElEquipoQueNosUne⁠ ⁠ pic.twitter.com/Qk0pdEmLLp

I’m half Uruguayan, but you don’t need to be to realize that this video is what is so special about the World Cup. Like a lot of sports, it creates memories and feelings that we’ll remember for a life time. It's also great that Uruguay plays its nexts two matches on a Wednesday (vs. Saudi Arabia) and Monday (vs. Russia). Keep winning Uruguay and these kids don't need to go to class!

Dale Uruguay!
