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.
Photo below:
The venue.

Dual citizenship?

Yes, this is for ALL of YOU who never ran out of words to say about my posts!
Now, it feels like you were there! :))

The crowd few minutes after the start of the Game.
|
I hate how the lights. It's not awesome for photos. :))
|
The guards securing the wide oval. They have never seen the actual event. They watched on the huge screen in front of them.
|
First round.
|
The photo journalists with their high-powered cameras.
|
The audience intently watching every move of the feet, legs and ball.
|
Sardines, anyone?
|
More sardines.
|
The first half finished with nil scores.
|
During the break, I went out to buy drinks. Instead, I found my Italian friend with this shirt on.
|
Number 9 is cute but not hot.
They call him Pato (not sure)?
In my dialect, Pato means duckling.

When Argentina scored, the audience stood up and roared in unison.
|
Everybody looked at the huge screen for the recap and waited for the score board to change.
|
Then, the audience roared, thundered like crazy!
|
And the Brazilians were down-hearted.
|
|
I was bored.
I went upstairs.
I went upstairs.
|
Then, I found these cute men.
|
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. :))

Damn it!

Glad to see the rainbow wig out again! What a sad job for the people in #10 and 11 having to sit and watch the crowd instead of the game!
