GOLLLLLL!!!!!!


That's right. I went to a soccer game! Manuel surprised me with tickets to the Spain v. Sweden game at Bernabeu stadium in Madrid. SOOO COOOL! We went to the game with double socks on, beanies and scarves, all ready for the freezing cold stadium. To our surprise there were a few heat lamps in the rafters, which just helped enough so you can still feel your toes.

Spain 3
Sweden 0

It was so cool to be at the game and see what the Spanish crowd is like. They did the wave about 5 times around the entire stadium - pretty impressive although a bit tiring after the 4th time! And the coolest thing to hear was that at every break they put traditional Spanish songs "Que viiiiiva Espana". Oh man, it almost brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me of all my Spanish classes in high school! I didn't even think I could remember that far back! Really funny, but it makes sense since it is the national selection.

If you want to see a really awesome sports page where you can keep up to date on statistics of pretty much any sport (ALL IN SPANISH THOUGH), you can check out 20minuto's multimarcador.
