I only tune in every four years during the World Cup \u2014 but those moments are some of my favorite memories.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For as long as I can remember, my extended family has gotten together to watch the matches. Those hangouts include keeping our eyes glued to the TV, eating a lot of carne asada and jumping off the couch when Mexico and the U.S. each score.
