On Saturday night, Pallavi and I went to a Fiorentina (Florence's home team) soccer match vs. Genoa.....awesome!! The 40,000+ fans that packed the stadium were festive the entire game, singing, chanting, and of course, yelling at the officials. It's a shame we didn't understand what they were yelling.....it sounded quite colorful. Two other things we found quite interesting were that the Genoa fans were all in one CAGED section separate from the Fiorentina fans, and that the locals displayed their team spirit by wearing team scarves......only the Americans in the crowd (myself included) were wearing team jerseys. So it was quite easy to spot the Americans.
Here is a picture of the two of us in the Stadium, as well as a video clip that I took immediately after Fiorentina scored the only goal of the night -- not the best camerawork, but hopefully you'll get the idea.
