Just blogging: Let's play some FUTBOL!!

It's crazy how you can have a perception of things your entire life, and then just one event can change it. Having always played soccer and loving the sport - I have always wanted to go to a real game and I finally got the opportunity!

There are two futbol teams here in Sevilla - Betis and Sevilla F.C (Futbol Club.) I had the privilege of going to watch a Sevilla F.C game!!!!!!! It was at the 'Stadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan' stadium!

Me in front of the Stadium!

It was a special charity fundraiser game called "Champions for Africa" and all proceeds went towards that organization, so the tickets weren't too expensive and we got banging seats! Talk about a win-win :)

I bought myself a "Espana" scarf, which is very common at games here everyone holds them up and waves them around (not actually wearing them as a scarf) Hahahaha, I used it for both!! Anyways, like I said it's crazy to always think of something one way and then it change. I always knew stadiums were huge and had a zillion crazy drunk fans everywhere - but I finally got to experience it.

Sevilla players warming up!

Action shots - corner kick!

Well anyways, back to how I felt.. hehe when I walked into the stadium and saw everything right there in front of me I was definitely on a high - floating on cloud 9. It was HUGE, it was INSANE, it was BEAUTIFUL, and most of all it was FUTBOL !!!!!

I was speechelss. FINALLY watching a european soccer game it was absolutely tremendous!! I wish I could go to one every week hahahahaha. Since it was a charity game though they had a ceremony and speech celebrating the cause, which was nice and I understood a majority!! (Yay spanish!)

I went with a couple friends from our program and we certainty had a blast. Chiming in on the chants when we understood what they were saying and just screaming like lunatics... I definitely lost my voice after the game!
