La Boca Futbol!


We scored tickets through a nearby hostel and ventured to the game with an eclectic group of Kiwis, Aussies and Brits. To say the least, the game was an experience.

While I am not exactly a soccer fan (at all), the game was one of the most entertaining events I have ever witnessed. Much like the student section of an SEC football game, the fans stood the entire game. However, not even the craziest SEC fan holds a candle to the average Boca fan. They just wouldn’t stop! 15 minutes before the game started until about 15 minutes after the game ended was spent banging drums, waving flags and singing in unison.



The game ended in a draw, but that didn’t stop the fans from moving the celebration into the street. People of all ages danced into the night in a plaza bordering the stadium.
