weekend at Gillette

We had 8 "club house" tickets to watch the soccer triple header this weekend at Foxboro...
Pat's games can be fun BUT soccer brings a whole new concept to "fans"...
1st game was the Rev's -v- KC .boring tied but a lousy 90 minutes of ball..
2nd game was the best USA-v- Haiti our boys had their hands full and J.Heaps literally handed the Haiti club a win till the 90th minute...Home boys tied it....This is where the "Fans" get fun.....good old boy 3 seats down has already spilled 2 beers,one on a father /son 3 rows in front of him and the other on his girl....now he gets to screaming at the teams,ref and anyone who will listen.......the girls and I start to "chime" in as his echo this gets the Haiti fans in front of us in the "playful mood" and the "Game" is on.....
Before the loooooong evening is over this young man has a new respect for both the "Game" and fans.....and I have a few new friends that just "LOVE" the game of soccer.....
The last game;Honduras-v- Greneda.....4- nill Honduras.....long flight home for Greneda boys...but great way for the younger girls ( 20 somethings) to see "foreign fans"...they live for their teams and Gillette was a sea of colors,shirts ,hats, small flags and of course the LARGE flags....

Did I mention my love for soccer is almost to a "Taco" level
