Sunday's Game

We always have fun when we go see the best soccer team in the world. That would be Internacional if you are new to this blog. Yesterday Bronwyn, Ansley, Garrett, Carys and I got the chance to take some American missionary friends of ours (Paul and his kids Katy and Preston) to their first Inter game. We had a great time together.

During the game I got a text message from some other great friends of ours (also missionaries) that live in São Paulo state, telling me they were watching the game and wished us luck. Thanks for the note Mark and Crazy. I got it right as we scored our first goal. You definitely brought us luck.

Oh yeah, our team played a strong team from São Paulo (Palmeiras).

There are 20 teams in the Brasilian first division. Our team and the team we played yesterday, from what the papers say, are in a group of about 5-6 teams that have a good chance to win the championship. It was a great game atmosphere.

We won 2-0. Bronwyn's boyfriend (in her imaginary world) scored the first goal.

Here are your highlights:




Another highlight was this guy:His name is Marcão. He actually played for our team until the first part of this year. He plays for Palmeiras now. He cut his head during the game and for some reason the doctors on his team thought a swimming cap on his head would be the best way to control the blood flow.

As Anderson would say......"Interesting."

We always have fun and it's never boring at an Inter game.
