Go to a Boca Jr's match
I went to a soccer match yesterday. I loved it. The whole thing reminded me of being in Athens for a football game. We were lucky. The whole trip was just a spur of the moment thing. My hostel buddies and I woke up and they mentioned that there was a soccer game today. We went over to La Boca and bought the tickets and got in - nothing to it. When we got there we met a really nice local guy and his son. He told me all about the history of the team and the players. He also said that there is a museum that you can go to and see the locker room, go up to the field, see all the trophies the team has won and things like that. I would like to go on that tour another day. During the game there was so much fan fare. It is almost like the fans are more intrested in cheering than they are in watching the game. There were so many flags, banners, and cheers. Right before kick off the upper level lowered a huge banner that blocked the view of the lower section. I couldn't tell what it said because I was on the inside. Then after a few minutes of cheering and songs the banner was raised and we got to watch the game. The game itself was intresting. No goals in the first half and 4 in the second. Boca won 4-0. When we got back to the hostel they were showing highlights of the game and I got to see some of the stains from other camera angles - that was cool. I loved the whole experience. I'm glad we got to sit with the die hard fans and talk with the locals that made the whold experience so much better.
