Go Chivas!

The soccer game was pretty cool. Our seats were in the second row pretty close to the center of the field. It was just me and Elan and Cassandra because Nikiya is sick. I really wish she had been there because it’s no fun to ogle at soccer players in your head. The stadium wasn’t anywhere near full but there was a very enthusiastic cheering section to our left that made up for it.

The Chivas (from Guadalajara) beat Puebla (from Puebla, a state to the southeast) 3-2 in a pretty exciting game. There was a moment when it looked like it was going to be tied up with five minutes left in the game, but the goal didn’t count because they were off sides (a rule I will never understand). I like soccer because the clock just keeps running. It’s a 90 minute game and it takes 90 minutes to play it. As opposed to football which is really only an hour of playing and 3 more hours of standing around doing nothing.
