there was no way i was going to live in south america for 6 months without making it to a professional
partido de fútbol (soccer game). but i did end up cutting it pretty close! instead of studying for my final yesterday, i went to a match between
Universidad de Chile (the team actually has zero affiliation with the university, kind of misleading), and
Colo-Colo (known for being the most
flaite - SKETCH!). this game is also known for being
muy peligroso (dangerous)
 |
the Colo-Colo section. very segregated from any of the U de Chile fans
to prevent any hospital visits and/or death. this is not an exaggeration. |
 |
| la U! |
 |
| Estadio Nacional - the home stadium for U de Chile and also the national team ("la selección") |
one of the weirdest things to me was how you couldn't buy WATER anywhere in the stadium. only soda. this has been a reoccurring theme in Chile, water doesn't seem to be a very popular choice of beverage which i am not accustomed to because it's all i drink in California!
the crowd was CRAZY!!! the entire time. and also using tons of profanity. here is a video of everyone yelling "
conchatumare" aka "motherfucker" every time a Colo-Colo player was announced before the game started
 |
| GOOOOOOL!!!!!!! |
 |
| please tell me this is legal in the united states. |
 |
final score! la U - 4, ColoColo- 0
"chi! chi! chi! le! le le! universidad de chile!" |
 |
rafa sad because she's a Colo-Colo fan.
and dre pretending to be happy, because she's also a Colo-Colo fan |
 |
| the crew! me, dre, rafa, jules, nat :) |
