River Game

February 10- 1842 Quesada

So there are 2 major soccer teams... one called River Plata or just River and the other Boca Juniors or just Boca. they are HUGE rivals and everyone is nuts about their team but anyways that doesnt really play into this story at all. But I happen to live about 5 blocks from the River stadium. So tonight i was just at my casa and my "brother" Eric was here too. I walked into the kitchen and he was flipping throught the channels to find the river game. we sat down to watch it when i asked if it was here or there.. he said here and then do you want to go so i was like of course. so we walk to the stadium and we get there around half time but the quit selling tickets when the game begins. so we walked around and stopped to ask this guy where we could buy tickets for next game. as we were walking away some other people came up and he wouldnt let them in but in all this confusion called us back over and let us in FOR FREE!!!! so we ended up watching half a river game for free and it was insane. there are no words to describe a soccer game in South America. the fans are nuts. everywhere you look you will see a police officer. the fans are jumping up and down screaming the entire time. the opposing team has there own section... with a fence around it... with barbed wire... with armed police... it was amazing. and what was amazing also was river won 2 to 0... they scored the 2 goals during the second half while we were there and we have one of them on tape. i am so happy right now :)
