Wednesday night we went to a world cup qualifying game between Chile and Argentina. A little soccer history here: the Chilean team had NEVER beaten the Argentine team in any soccer match of any consequence...until now.
History was made. Chile won 1-0...and WE were there.
This defeat was so humiliating for Argentina (a world-renowned soccer powerhouse) that their coach resigned a day later. It was nice to see the Chileans (who have a profound inferiority complex) win something for a change.
Me and the Tiffer
Nihat and I (in our official Chilean soccer jerseys)
Victor and Monica
The statium holds 80,000 people...
but don't expect cushy seats, cup holders, or good food
They have some very creative chants and sayings for the opposing team
Most involve some type of 'groseria' (cuss word) coupled with 'tu madre'
The winning and only goal of the night...Tiffany got it on video!
The roar of the crowd when they scored was amazing
Good times
