Last Saturday I met up with my friends Sheau and Kristen, who I hadn't seen in about seven years, to go to a double header of soccer games. The first game was an MLS game - San Jose Earthquakes against Columbus Crew. The second game was an exhibition between FC Barcelona and Chivas de Guadelajara.
I understand what MLS is trying to do, but really all the double header did was drive home exactly how wide a disparity there is between the best international times and the MLS teams. The second game was so much crisper, and so much more entertaining, than the MLS game that it was kind of funny after a while.
The Chivas fans were pretty wild. Sheau had to ditch his backpack in the bushes because they wouldn't let it in the stadium. They let these guys bring in fireworks, though.
My father went to Barcelona last spring and got this wonderful FC Barca jersey. It's not really captured in this light, but the jersey is bright orange. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to wear it, though.
