So,
I am not sure if all Americans have a great idea about what soccer (futbol) means to Europeans, and especially Spaniards, but last night I found out.
A bunch of Stanford peeps went to an Irish Pub to watch "el clasico", which is essentially the biggest futbol match of the year-- yep, you guessed it... Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona.
So much beer, so many tears... Barcelona destroyed Madrid.
And that basically ruined the social aspect of our Saturday night. Had Madrid won, the plaza del dos de mayo would have been hopping, seeing as yesterday was the Madrid Community Day w/ tons of festivals, concerts, etc.
But last night everyone was just sad b/c Madrid lost the game to Barcelona. BUT I did buy a sweet jersey, so I feel slightly better about that.
