Arsenal vs. Ipswich Town


One of the most amazing things that you can experience when you go to the United Kingdom is a traditionnal futbol game! What I have been taught wrong for my entire life... is that Soccer does not exist in the UK. James and Will had put together a group of 10 for the game. Although none of the girls had any idea about what was going on, we still had an amazing time.

I don't think I have ever felt like so much of a fan as I did on the way to the game. We had all bought jerseys, so we matched and definitely stood out until we got closer to the stadium. Will made sure that everyone knew that we were going by constantly chanting and saying popular arsenal cheers while chanting "We love Cesc Fabregas" over and over again.

When we got to the stadium we were completely shocked when we found out where are seats were. Of course we assumed that we would have horrible seats in an area that wouldn't see much of the game because we really didn't pay much and these games are supposed to be out of control. Of course being the lucky group that we are we ended up getting box seats that were completely amazing! Although we were the youngest by far in our section, we had an amazing time and learned a thing or two about football. The night definitely turned into a memorable one... and will never be forgotten especially since the majority of the night was caught on Will's flip camera!
