World Cup Qualifier

On Saturday Mark and I got to go watch the Portuguese National team beat Bosnia in a World Cup Qualifying game. It was incredible! We love going to any soccer game but this game- most amazing soccer experience yet! A stadium FULL of screaming patriotic fans, the National team, we won, it was just fantastic!

Mark and I love being in a country that is SO serious about soccer and the World Cup is a big dea in our books. At bording school there were only 2 reasons, EVER, that we would be allowed out of the dorms late at night. One- to watch the safari rally cars as they drove threw the campus and TWO- WORLD CUP! Didn't matter what time it played we were allowed to watch it!

So seeing a real live game and a World Cup qualifier at that- Mark and I were thrilled! And by the it was the second to last game to secure a spot in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the final game was played last night and PORTUGAL WON! South Africa here we come! (Well not us exactly but we will be watching EVERY game!)
