We went to the game as planned last night. Bronwyn was a last minute bail out. Our family has been passing around some light stomach/cold symptoms little bug and she had to stay at home because she wasn't feeling well. It killed her but we reassured her that she could come back in 2014 to see the World Cup when Brasil hosts it.
We invited Katy (another American missionary and good friend of Ansley's) to take her spot. We also went with three of our brothers from our church family.
This was the third game of the seleção that I've been blessed to see. I went (like I mentioned on Tuesday's blog) in 2001 and then took Garrett in 2005.
Both of those games had an atmosphere that I had never experienced in sports before.
Last night wasn't quite so exciting for a few different reasons. We played Peru who is in last place and they are honestly an awful team. I think a lot of fans stayed home and watched it on tv instead of paying to see our team play someone so bad. The stadium was three fourths full which took some of the emotion out of it but it was still an exciting thing to be a part of.
Benay's soccer boyfriend (Kaká) played the entire game. The coach also made sure all four of the guys on the roster from our state got in the game which made the fans very happy.
By the way, we won 3-0. Here is a video if anyone, other than my dad and Brasilians, cares.
Enjoy:
