Almost there..........

Last night the greatest team in soccer played the first leg of the finals of the South American Cup.

We had to go to Argentina to play against a team called Estudiantes. They had not been beaten at home in the last 43 games. We lost one of our best players at the 24 minute mark of the first period (for those not familiar with soccer we play a 45 minute first half and a 45 minute second half). He received two yellow cards and was kicked out of the game. We had to play the last 65 minutes of the game with only 10 players versus 11.

What happened?

Here's what happened:


With Alex's penalty kick we won the game 1-0. The return game will be here next Wednesday night at 10:00. Yes we have already bought our tickets and we should have a big group going with us (bigger than our normal family group) as we've already talked with other people who have bought their tickets as well. The stadium should be packed and that, by itself, is always fun to be a part of.

Another update (hopefully a joyful one) to come after next week`s game.

These extra highlights, from the entire game, are for my dad but feel free to enjoy them as you slowly become a fan of Inter too. You know you want to.
