I had the chance to go to a soccer match a few days ago. It was at the top of my list of things I wanted to do before I left here. It did not disappoint! The game was between 2 in-town rivals, so the atmosphere was electric. So much fun! The excitement and enthusiasm were contagious.

cheering on our team!
This video does not do the crowd justice. I think there were around 80,000 people there. They were doing organized cheers and there was a wave going at one point. They love their football around here...and I love that!
