Roma, Roma, Roma

Last Sunday I went to the Roma soccer game. They played a team called Juventus, apparently one of the oldest soccer teams in the league and based in Turin. This was quite the cultural experience. Fans singing and chanting together while everyone holds up their Roma scarves and waves massive flags. Apparently it is ok to bring smoke bombs and fireworks into the stadium (there are special pits for these things). Fans of the other team are isolated from Roma fans, but Roma lost 2-0 so every time Juventus scored, they would throw waterbottles and Roma fans and try and get past security. Luckily we sat very far away from the Juventus fans and the firework pits. All in all it was a great time and I am glad I shelled out the money to go!
