Yeah he was huge, but I was never into latin music, and much less him. I remember hearing "La Copa de la Vida" (The Cup of Life) during the 1998 world cup, and I was in Argentina during the world cup. They played it like crazy, and I actually didn't mind it for the most part, since nothing really bugs me during the glorious days of world cup, especially on vacation at the age of 14 in my homeland .

The song from Titanic? Whoa, that came out in 1997, long time on the charts there!

Sorry you guys missed the main constant during the past 9 years:

Sloan vs. Pop

Pop is the mirror image of Sloan, with the exception that Pop wins championships.

Pop just shreds the Jazz defense at home. Great ball movement by the Spurs as usual.

Reminds me of when I was in Bariloche, Argentina some 6 or so years ago, and there are always tons of Brazilians there on vacation, and I think the game was Brazil vs Mexico, probably a friendly or qualifier. Anyways, Brazil won, and needless to say I couldn't sleep. I wanted to kick these neighbor's ass (hotel)!
