SPAIN sevilla (champions league!)
sevilla sevilla sevilla!!!! that is how one of the songs start for sevilla fc…and the only words i remember. haha. what a memorable event! we went to the sevilla-arsenal champions league game one night, and it was especially exciting because arsenal has been top-ranked recently and sevilla was at home. we tailgated on the way and outside the stadium (a good attempt anyway) with a couple of locals who, like other europeans i have met, asked us if any of us had msn messenger. i swear every european person i have met is obsessed and is appalled when i don´t have it. i also don´t see what we would talk about after meeting for 15 minutes. hmm maybe one day.
the tickets were bought at the front window but our seats were scattered, and at a packed game it was going to be impossible to sit together. nonetheless, we tried…in some prime rows behind the goal! i think these seats were for season-ticket holders since the people knew these were not our seats…they said we could still sit there if no one came, and we thought we got away with it until the real seat-holders arrived after the game started. haha sad.
i can not compare the incredible atmosphere of the sevilla crowd because i have never been to anything so passionate. only to say that the fans are truly loyal and the sport and players so respected. i thought the barça crowd was amazing, but it does not ever compare to the sevilla crowd! to top it off, sevilla played really well and won 3-1!
