Today I got to experience a Central American pro soccer game! Earlier in the week my ‘little bro’ was telling me that there was a game coming up so I asked ‘mom’ if I could buy them tickets as a thank you for treating me so well. I think Javier was pretty pumped!
It was looking pretty grim when ‘we’ (Antigua G.F.C) scored on ourselves and then missed a penalty shot, but we scored a beautiful header goal to finish with a draw. We were sitting in the rowdy section, right in front of a guy with a big drum, so I was getting into their cheers. My favourites were, “Si, se puede!” (yes, you can do it!) and “Hay comer despues!” (There’s food to eat afterwards!). A couple of times when I was clapping along my mom leaned over and translated what they were cheering. Maybe not the most appropriate words to be cheering along with!
So glad I had this experience!
There’s something for everyone:
Tailgate party!
I'm not quite as fond of that food pic. Reminds me too much of meatstravaganzas in the Philippines. I was interested in the drummer though!! That drum is bigger than I was picturing for the kirtan group though : )
Barbed wire on the fence!!
