My first soccer game!

Friday, November 24, 2006
So, I finally got Tomash to invite us to a soccer game. I've been fishing for an invite to a game since I got here, as I have many times been told it is not a good idea for a girl to go on her own or with other girlfriends. (Probably doesn't help that I'm a foreigner.) Anyhow, though the game I was at was fairly mild in atmosphere, apparently there are many opportunities for what Russians call "hooliganism" at games. So, with the company of a couple of friends and my long-awaited Spartak ticket, we watched the Spartak v. Bayern Munich game, one of the championship games.



This is what happens when Spartak scores a goal. There are load explosions in the stadium, lights flash, and hundreds of fans wip out red flares, light them, and then hold them up in the air. Those standing behind these individuals have to be prepared!



Tomash and I goofing off during a break.

    What? Spartak v. Bulgaria? No no Cat ;) It was Bayern Munich (Germany)! But this time I'll forget about it - Americans and football, sorry, soccer ;)

    PS. Correct it, please :)
