Futbol!



For Tyler's birthday last week we went to a futbol game. Argentinos took on Godoy Cruz that evening. Ella and I were more entertained by the fans than the game itself. She enjoyed clapping and stomping with them. The fans here are something else! We didn't seat in the section of the hard core fans, but instead had a great view of them--dancing, chanting, signing, cursing, stomping, clapping--the whole entire game. They never stopped. And what the visiting team (Godoy Cruz) lacked in numbers, they made up for in number of banners and flags. Everything was colorful (including the language). Both team's fans had percussion sections so it sounded like a parade the entire game.
The game itself was fun to watch. Godoy Cruz beat Argentinos 3-1. Tyler would give you a totally different explanation of the game. And if he wants to...he can. Hee!
