Futbol fans! Pics from last nights Mexico vs. China game!

Last night we went to the Mexico vs. China soccer game at Qwest Field here in Seattle for Mexico's world tour. It was sooo much fun, the energy was astounding. I've never seen so many Mexican flags in one place! There were over 56,000 people in attendance, it was just crazy! Mexico won 1-0, to the excitement of about 95% of the crowd, us included! Here are some fun pics for ya

Tiny ants playing futbol!

The crowd after the game. Walking back to the car was fun, too! Drums and chanting, it was so cool

omg abbie, jose is going to hate you... we were watching the game on tv and we were saying we were sooooo surprised at how many mexicans turned out in seattle. whodathunk you had so many?! haha

Abbie.. I watched the game and the first period I was screaming in the front of the TV while writing in the foum, I wished we were there... and I hate you too as Maura said!

p.s. why does doug always look so freaking cute in every photo?! well except for the woooo one.

 

and you too, you have been particularly cute in the photos youve posted lately! what are you two drinking to get so cute? i want some of your kool aid haha

oh and BTW, do you like el hobbit?!

Where the hell have I been? I had no idea there was futbol at Qwest field! Oh yeah, I haven't had cable television for a week! What fun Abbie - that crowd is insane though. Great pics!

it was so good! i wish you all could have gone!
ya, we got a handful of 'em i can say this because i'm 1/4 mexican (no joke, i'm serious) but we got a lotta mexicans around us. we live in west seattle, but just south of us is burien, where the kids go to school cause their mom lives there, and their school is about 85% mexican. the kids even pick up a bit of spanish at school, it's pretty cool. i knew it was a pretty big population in our area, but last night proved it! it was an awesome turnout. what a great experience for "my people"! hehe
thanks, lady! i can guarantee you what we were drinking last night was not waht was making us so cute (bud light, BLECH!), maybe it was what YOU are drinking right now! blahahahaha
what's that??

hahahhahaha are you insinuating that i have a mid-day drinking habit?

 

actually... the liquor reporter works in my bureau, and people were sampling "bourbon liqueur" earlier, but not me. sorry to disappoint!

well, there is usually seattle sounders soccer, but altho they have a small but excitable following, it's just not at all what soccer was meant to be.

next year we do get a real and true MLS team, to be named Seattle Sounders FC. season tickets are on sale now, we're getting them.

trevor's coach actually just stepped down from the sounders, he is coaching 3 teams and didn't have the time or $ to play for them anymore. he is really good tho, and the kids love him.

we went to a futbol game here in Chicago when it was Mexico vs USA it was insane. We chartered a bus with 50 fam & friends, it was a blast! I would love to go to another game.
