Game Day

This past Sunday was an epic day in futbol (soccer for the US) in Spain. The teams of two of the largest cities in Spain played against each other. FC (futbol club) Barcelona played against Real Madrid, also known as El Clasico. Back at home in Michigan, the two biggest rivals are Michigan and OSU. Barcelona and Madrid share a similar rivalry.

The game was played in the stadium of Barcelona, Camp Nou. The next time they play in the Spring, the will play in Madrid. Anyway, there was a lot of hype for this game. All the news channels were talking about it and giving their predictions of what the outcome would be. There were commercials promoting the game and kids at school were talking about the it. I personally was rooting for Barcelona. I mean I am living really close to Barcelona so I have to represent my city.

When Sunday came I was excited and ready to watch some of the greatest players play futbol. However, horrror struck as I was dismayed to find out the game could only be shown on special networks, which we had to pay for. So instead of the game we watched Shrek... SHREK!!!

Thankfully, Oscar and I had to go out to buy some bread. While we were out we saw the score in a near by bar. It was a little past halftime and the score was Barcelona 0, Real Madrid 0 (referees win ;). What a boring first half I thought. A few seconds later Barcelona scored and we heard noises from all the restaurants and bars that were near. We later went back home to have dinner. We then learned that the final score of the game was 1 to 0 Barcelona.

I was happy that Barcelona won and thought Oscar and I were really lucky to see the goal. Let's Go BARCELONA!!
