Tonight was unbelievable!! It was our night to go to a World Cup qualifier futbol (soccer) game! almost the entire stadium was full of people. There were flares, confetti and chants always going. Uruguay was playing Colombia. Uruguay scored withing the first 12 minutes of the game...beautiful shot! We went wild. It wasn't until second half that Colombia scored to tie the game. For a while we were nervous, but then with 20 minutes left to go Uruguay scored twice more to end the game 3-1. The second was scored off a header and the third was a shot on the ground. I really wanted to buy a jersey there, because there were several stands but I was unable to. Our group was trying to stay together. Hopefully I will find some more at a feria, maybe cheaper too.
This week is half over already. It's going by faster each day and I am not sure if that's good or bad. I am most definitely enjoying every minute!!
P.S. I did get my laundry back if that was not clear before :)
3-1 Holy crap! That must have been the experience of a lifetime to be at a futbol game with real fans. I don't think you would be able to find anythign quite like that in the states.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to experience a true original futbol game! --How's that Spanish speaking going?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I doubt I could find anything like it in the states! As for Spanish, still coming back little by little. My mouth resists Spanish coming out of it sometimes though :)
