Sporting

Remember that big green and yellow soccer stadium that we could see out the window of our hotel room when we first arrived in Portugal? Well, we got to go see a soccer game there last night, it was AWESOME! It was between 2 of the 3 main teams that are here in Portugal. Sporting (home team) and Porto (which is another large city here in Portugal in the North of the country.) Both good teams and very fun to watch play. It was a heated rivalry but our team, Sporting, took them down good with a solid 4-1 WIN!

Bria with her friend, Brooks, beside her. She kept careful track of the score- and was serious about rules. I think she is going to be a referee:)

Sahara was cheering away the whole game, she was trying to learn the Portuguese cheers that everyone around us were yelling.

And Tirza, she liked the soccer ball (as she calls the game.) But Sporting's mascot is a lion and so she was a little nervous about the lion. She was sure that a real one was going to appear at any minute, during half time she was especially nervous and it didn't help that they kept playing a roar over the loud speaker:)

Mark and I were so excited to get to go to a game! It was a blast! Another perk of where we live, tons of live soccer games to go to! Here are a couple of videos for all you soccer lovers out there- I thought you would enjoy hearing the roar of the game. (David the videos are especially for you.)
