Beijing Olympic Games: Football Semi-Finals---Argentina v.s. Brazil
2008.08.19
Ok, so I just arrived from the semi-final football match between Argentina and Brazil. It was crazy. The Argentinians were crazy. The Brazilians were crazier.
This is my first football game I've ever watched. I'm not a football fan really. But, I know which player is hot. David Beckham is not hot. Oh, please. But, Santiago and Kaka are. :)) Yeah, I really have a soft heart for Latinos.

The guards securing the wide oval. They have never seen the actual event. They watched on the huge screen in front of them.

Number 9 is cute but not hot.
They call him Pato (not sure)?
In my dialect, Pato means duckling.

The score was 3-0 in favor of Argentina. Brazil football team is more popular than Argentina in China. But, that night, I heard more Argentina fans screaming to the top of their lungs.

Photo op with the Brazilians who were reallllly sad.
But, I told them that no reason to be sad because Brazilian men are hotter than the Argentinians. :))
