Entry #5 - Soccer Match


Today, we went to a São Paulo FC vs Santos FC soccer match. It took place at the São Paulo Futebol Clube Estadio Cicero Pompeo de Toledo, which is the home of the São Paulo FC. We went with two local Paulistas who work at the hostel we are staying at. Since we were seating with the São Paulo FC's fans, we were advised to wear black, red and white clothing, which are the colors of the team. 


It was really fun to hear all the cheers from all their fans, and to see what they were wearing, but most importantly, it was exciting to experience something that is so meaningful for their culture. Although our team lost (2-0), we all had a great time. After leaving the stadium, we all bought soccer jerseys from a couple that were selling them on the street. I would definitely come back for another game, or even better, for the World Cup (I wish).
