Football! (and of course by football I mean soccer)






A bunch of us went to a football game today where two Russian teams played each other. Locomotive and Spartik. The fans were absolutly CRAZY! They yelled and screamed and chanted and cursed. Worse I think then American Football fans during games such as FSU and UF (and that's saying a lot). This was suppose to be one of the 'calm' games and there still must have been nearly 500 police officers and militia standing guard all over the stadium and grounds. The game itself was actually a very good one. The score was tied until the last like minute of the game when the home team (Locomotive) scored and won.
The pictures are all from the game. It was great fun.
