Lazio vs. AC Milan

I know next to nothing about sports but futbol a.k.a. soccer? You get the ball into one goal or another and the players aren't too bad to look at if I do say so myself. The entire world over sans the U.S. breathes and sweats futbol, 24/7 from one season to the next.

With a group of 5 other hearty girls, we trudged for 3 hours to multiple stores to try and get our hands on some prized tickets to the Lazio vs. AC Milan game on Feb 1st. After waiting in a giant, swelling crowd (in the rain!), I managed to wiggle through to the front and score 6 of them for row 18 - not bad at all! And being short obviously has its advantages. I don't know how sports fans do it, everything takes so much energy and I applaud you for it.

Sue me for sporting a Beckham jersey but he's pretty much the only player I knew. He's on loan to AC Milan till the end of March and if you ignore his terribly high-pitched voice that completely clashes with his toned physique -- he's a decent player and not just a pretty face. Albeit, I did sit on the Lazio side of the stadium prompting several avid fans to shoot me evil eyes at my red/black stripes. But too bad! We won 3:0 and I got great action shots all the way through! The Manchester United game is the next big 'un and the cheapest seats are 100 euros O_o. I like how I did this instead of going to go see the Superbowl at the Hard Rock Cafe, haha.
