Argentina Wins!

Diego is, of course, soccer crazy and he hasn't seen his team, Boca Juniors, in over 6 years. So when the COPA Panamericana tour came through Phoenix, we were there. It was the Boca Junior from Argentina (in blue) against Club America from Mexico (in yellow).
We abandoned any thought of finding our correct seats and just went straight for the place where all the Boca Jr fans were congregating.
My BIG drummer boy. Someone was playing quite terribly and without heart so I suggested Diego give it a go. It wasn't that arbitrary. He does have experience.
This was the scoreboard at the end of the game. Boca Juniors WIN! That one goal was scored early on in the game, but it doesn't matter... Argentina WINS!
This was my first professional soccer game and I loved it. It was kind of amazing to watch all the physics in action. You know, a force will continue in the same direction unless acted upon by another force. It was interesting to watch how they could slow a flying ball down with the side of their leg or with their heads. They don't just let it hit their heads... they go after it!
