Ecuadorians Protest U.S. Embassy and Celebrate Soccer Victory

Demonstrators showed up infront of the U.S. Embassy in Quito protesting comments by a U.S. official there who made critical comments about Ecuador's judicial system. Anger over such comments were heard from government officials as well, stating that what takes place in the internal functionings of the Ecuadorian government is not one for the U.S. to make an opinion or to get involved.




After the protests,
the streets across Ecuador were swallowed by cheers of joy and celebration over Ecuador's victory of 3-0 against Costa Rica in today's decisive World Cup Soccer match, assuring its pass to the next round while eliminating Costa Rica.

One thing is for sure, from protests to celebrations, or from the indigenous population, workers or its national soccer team: Ecuadorians mean business.
