Celebrating the Winners
Leocadio the Gaucho Lion: (narrating in English) Leocadio the Gaucho Lion speaking. I am so grateful for everything that has turned out the way it has; my home nation of Argentina has won the 2022 World Cup, and best of all, my people didn't riot. So we invited the G-52s and allies to my country to celebrate. We didn't cover all the highlights in this journal entry, so we apologize for that. I was too busy concentrating on my health.
*Later, we go to Argentina, and much to our surprises, the streets are incredibly clean, and everybody welcomes the foreign visitors as they make way from them.*
Chuong: They behave like the Japanese... Diamond Knight, what did you tell them for them to behave like this miraculously?
Diamond Knight: I told them to think of their future.
Chuong: Everything is so clean, and people are so respectful.
Mechayote: *To Super C* Let's bump Diamond Knight's fine down to $1,200, since his people are behaving properly.
Silent Cat: *To Diamond Knight* See? God is in control. You're Catholic, so you should know. You asked God for your fans to behave so we can come here. He answered. How do you feel?
Diamond Knight: A huge relief off my shoulders. I've never felt so relieved before. But after this party, we do need to have Leocadio see a counselor in Wildcat City. It's so hard to get one here in Argentina these days.
Juno: *To Leocadio* Just take a deep breath. See? You were stressing out over nothing. I guess Argentina is no longer the most unbiblical country on Earth now that people got themselves together, assuming there will be no more hooliganism here. It's back to Japan for their pop culture and history.
Neon Blade: I could say similar things about Sweden because of their Vikings, which requires no explanation. But we get what you mean.
Alpha: Wow... I guess there's hope in Argentina after all.
Civilian 1: Welcome, visitors! And welcome home, Leocadio!
Civilian 2: You will love our hospitality and food! Our dreams have come true! Messi got the World Cup! He will go down in history as the best footballer the world has ever seen!
Civilian 3: No. We got the World Cup for Argentina!
Civilian 4: See? Argentina is lovely isn't it? And we proved to the world that we are the best in football! No questions asked!
Civilian 5: How is everybody doing today?
Valentino: So relieved. I never felt so good before like this.
*NOTE: Some furries still in Argentina step up to the challenge and work to fill the medical positions that the humans left open when they fled. However, Leocadio will still go to America.*
Super C: *to Mechayote* Good idea. He wasn't whining to the degree Captain Cosmo was, and so the fine should have been lower to start with; with Captain Cosmo, the fine was $3,000. That was a different case, though. *He finds Diamond Knight.* Hi; I hope you're doing a lot better since all the hooligans are in prison, and probably will be for life. The original fine I gave you was USD$1,500, but seeing the success you and Leocadio had in getting your people to cut it out, we decided to lower it to $1,200.
Leocadio: In our currency, that's 207,227.88 pesos.
Super C: How do you feel right now?
Leocadio: A lot better than I was. I still plan to go to your country for the medical appointment. I think I overreacted.
Super C: You might have, but you haven't done anything worthy of a fine in this case. All you wanted for Christmas, so to speak, was for the rioting to end for all eternity. I think.
Leocadio: I did. I used your fine of $9,000, or 1,554,209.10 pesos, to remind of the issues I had before; basically I was trying to be the Holy Spirit. Nobody can do that.
Super C: No Earth person can do that; you're right about that. However, that's the best way to describe it; it's the same he was doing all the bellowing.
Leo: We wanted morality to prevail, but for the wrong reasons. Still, I hope this eases the pain you were having.
Leocadio: Indeed it does. I thank everybody, and I do mean everybody, for all your prayers, letters of encouragement, support, you name it. I've found so much to be grateful for, and it's teaching me to see the brighter things in life, and that Argentina is not a nation that has nothing but hooligans who go crazy when their team does not win. *takes deep breath to keep calm* I am such a lucky lion.
*Leo finds Messi.*
Leo: Hello again; congratulations on your victory, and on winning the Golden Ball.
*Although they lost, some of the French team and players decide to visit Argentina to see for themselves that the people are improving. This allows the G-52s to congratulate the other award winners: French player Kylian Mbappé became the first player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final since Geoff Hurst in the 1966 final, and won the Golden Boot as he scored the most goals (eight) during the tournament. Argentine captain Lionel Messi, as Leo mentioned, was voted the tournament's best player, winning the Golden Ball. Emiliano Martínez and Enzo Fernández, also from Argentina, won the Golden Glove, awarded to the tournament's best goalkeeper and the Young Player Award, awarded to the tournament's best young player, respectively.*
Diamond Knight: $1,200 sounds fair enough. I hope Argentina stays this way and I'm sure they will.
Messi: Thank you! This was for Argentina as well! Welcome to our country!
*We go to a restaurant on the higher levels of a building but we get outdoor seating to have a nice view of the city to watch the crowd celebrate.*
Diamond Knight: So first thing first, we have a drink called yerba mate. Very popular, tastes bitter at first, but you may or may not like it. It's a type of tea that powers our country and our footballers.
*Everybody is served yerba mate.*
Valentino: Take it in sips.
Shadow Hunter: *He sips his yerba mate and tries not to make a face.* Oh wow that is very pungent.
Diamond Knight: It's Leocadio's favorite drink, and yes, it is pungent.
Shadow Hunter: Really? How strange.
Diamond Knight: Pairs nicely with our barbecue, too, so Leocadio knows.
Mechayote: *Sips his yerba mate.* You need an acquired taste for this.
Chuong: Tried it before and I don't like it, but to each of their own.
Diamond Knight: It's one of the first drinks our footballers drink first before playing. It powers them well.
Juno: Hard to believe that this drink would be so popular across Argentina.
Valentino: But it powers us. Argentine soldiers drink this too in the morning.
Juno: In America, we drink coffee.
Valentino: Coffee here is better for later in the day and evenings, like this time now. How's everybody enjoying the yerba mate? It's okay to say you don't like it.
*Coffee is then later served.*
Leocadio: This is indeed my favorite drink.
Leo: It never hurts to try it, but this isn't for me.
Super C: Me neither; this is awful! No offense to the people who like this.
Leocadio: None taken.
*Various Argentine appetizers and grape juice (in lieu of red wine) arrive to the table.*
Zax: Whoa it's a feast! And this looks like calamari.
Diamond Knight: It is fried calamari. We call them rabas mixtas. Squeeze some lemon on them before trying.
Juno: So much empanadas!
Diamond Knight: Empanadas are a staple in Argentina. Over there is provoleta, hot melted provolone cheese to be eaten with bread.
Chuong: *Eats some provoleta with baguette slices.* Asides from the yerba mate, sounds like this country's cuisine will be easily enjoyed by Americans.
Diamond Knight: Of course! *Drinks some coffee.*
Juno: *Eats an empanada.* I'm going to guess there's going to be food that would be somewhat familiar to us Americans.
Diamond Knight: Yes and no. We're basically a heavy mix of European cultures thrown together into a new world feast. Maybe a touch of indigenous flair too. I don't think you're going to see anything that would surprise you much like in Japan.
Chuong: *Drinks some grape juice.* Seeing that there's grape juice and wine everywhere, I'm going to guess Argentina is famous for wine.
Diamond Knight: Very. Some of our wines can only be tasted in Argentina for the tourists who love wine. I don't know why it's that way since I don't drink alcohol, but all I know is that we do get a lot of tourists who enjoy our wine. There's just no question about that. In fact, I like to say that we have the best wine in South America, they pair nicely with our steaks.
Valentino: There's just so much in Argentina to be proud of when it comes to our culture in general. And with us winning the World Cup and Messi, I feel like we have everything in the universe to be proud of.
Rainier: *Eats an empanada and drinks some coffee.* You have way more here than back in Canada. Yes, Canada is a cozy country, but we're mostly snow. We are hospitable but when it comes to our food, I don't think they can stack up to the food here.
Valentino: I wouldn't say that because people have their own opinions on things. You have poutine and buttertarts, which even Americans would say they're worth dying for.
Kirk: We have a lot of Argentine immigrants. However, when it comes to people working from home in our towns, it's either they love it or hate it. Those who hate it say that it gets kinda lonely and prefer in-person work with coworkers, especially during winter.
Zax: In America, almost everybody who works from home enjoys it. Even with northern Texas basically nearly frozen right now, people find a way to make life enjoyable. One of the things I take pride in as an American is that no matter how bad the weather gets and where we live, we make the best of what we have because we have the internet, the nearby bigger cities, well, everything. Not to mention, hot chocolate at home while working from home in Dallas? I love my home city so much!
Juno: Dallas has a big chunk of America's corporations being headquartered there. With companies like Amazon investing heavily in that city, it just makes it oh so amazing, as in way more amazing. And to top it off, we have Tex-Mex food there!
Diamond Knight: Sounds like Dallas is a big city.
Zax: It's huge! Way more fun than New York City! One of our famous obsessions in that city is the Dallas Cowboys, an American gridiron football team from the NFL. Americans outside of Dallas tend to criticize the Cowboys as being overrated, but as a Dallas native, I don't care! I love them and I'm proud to have such a team represent my hometown!
Diamond Knight: At least you don't have hooligans.
Zax: Yeah. We engage in online trolling about the NFL instead and make memes.
Diamond Knight: I prefer that over hooliganism. I'm still upset over one of my fans deciding it would be a good idea to assault a Saudi man for dissing Messi behind him and being permanently deported from Qatar for that.
Valentino: And then there was Emi Martinez performing an inappropriate gesture with his trophy but we let it slide because when people get very excited after a victory, people can get carried away a bit.
Diamond Knight: Yeah that was inappropriate, especially in Qatar, but the Qatari royal family let it slide. Poor kids in the audience who were unfortunate to see that. That right there falls into the category for innuendo. Well asides from that, how's everybody enjoying the appetizers?
Mechayote: Excellent so far! I'd imagine the main courses would be much better.
Diamond Knight: Beyond better!
Super C: Now this I have eaten. The empanada, I mean.
Cripto: I think I ate this the last time I went to a Tex-Mex restaurant with my family.
Leo: What restaurant?
Cripto: On the Border.
Leo: Hmmm.
Doughty Dog: *to Valentino* Such an act wouldn't fly in the U.S., believe me.
*The main courses are served.*
Jack: Whoa! Look at that steak!
Juno: Steak asada and chimichurri! *Eats some.* It's great!
Jack: And I have what I think is chicken parmesan with fries?
Diamond Knight: Try it!
Jack: *He eats his food.* It's a chicken fried steak with ham, tomato sauce, and cheese on top! Delicious!
Diamond Knight: That's milanesa a la napolitana.
Chuong: Mine looks similar, but has fried eggs on it. *Eats.* Yo! That's super good!
Valentino: That's milanesa a caballo.
Mechayote: *Eats his choripán.* It's similar to what we call hot dogs, but this is obviously better.
Valentino: Popular treat during football matches for the fans.
Mechayote: Great use of the chorizo for the choripán.
Shadow Hunter: Oh, wow; the pizzas are thick and loaded! Is this like a deep-dish pizza or something?
Diamond Knight: It's pizza al molde, which we describe as Argentine style pizza. It's good though!
Shadow Hunter: *Eats a slice of pizza.* It is kinda different. In New York City, they got lots of pizzeria, but their pizzas are much thinner. That way, you fold the pizza in half before eating it.
Chuong: I like my pizza crust thin or regular. If it's thick, it soaks up all the flavor, and you taste more of the dough than the flavor, which kills the enjoyment of pizza for me.
Diamond Knight: We do have thinner crust pizza, too. No doubt pizza is also popular during football matches. How's the dinner so far?
Mechayote: Excellent, and the fries are delicious!
Leo: I have to second you on that.
Super C: So do I.
Cripto: *to Diamond Knight* I almost thought you were going to say "pizza a la mode!" *Laughter.* That would not be appealing.
Leo: That would be weird.
Cripto: Earth to Cripto! Do you copy?
*More laughter.*
Leocadio: (narrating in English) The fries were indeed delicious; they were among my favorite dishes. However, while it looks like we're ending this on a cliffhanger, we're ending it here because the next journal entry will be all about us kicking off the new year, 2023. All that really happened afterwards was us eating desserts, many of which involved dulce de leche. These included flan, coconut & dulce de leche tart, and dulce de leche ice cream, just to name a few.
I hope it will be kind to all of you, and I'm praying for myself that it will be better than 2022 was. In the end, however, what was I worrying about? Absolutely nothing. How my people behave is how they choose to behave, and it really wasn't any of my business. I felt I lost my temper for nothing.
Ultimately, something else was missing. I would discuss that with Cripto's therapist when visiting the United States.
Leo: (narrating) Ultimately we hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and may 2023 be kind to you. Good night.

After Argentina wins the 2022 World Cup and surprises everybody when its people behave themselves, the G-52s and allies are invited to a victory celebration.

Chuong: I was surprised that nobody said anything about Martinez's gesture with the trophy. He made it so obvious!
Diamond Knight: Not the first time he's done it and people let it slide because he's Argentine so they let people like him get carried away. Messi partied hard and got drunk but was smart enough to let his wife drive him home. But let our footballers be because the thing is we won.
Juno: Yeah. Martinez got a little too happy with that trophy. But he said the French booed him so he decided to do that gesture as a way to shove his victory against those who booed him.
Battle Bear: I didn't boo him and to my people who did, they just proved why Argentina deserves that victory. Even though that gesture was inappropriate, Martinez has every right to shove his victory against France.

Leo: How did you feel about it?
Leonce: I felt my people shouldn't have booed the man. We could've avoided a conflict.
Leocadio: I can see why they did. In any event, we won, and we can put it behind us and move forward.
