Denmark versus Norway. The biggest Scandinavian rival in futbol and we decided to go to the game. The original plan was to watch the game from a Norwegian bar underneath the stadium with my Norwegian friends. While walking around ¾ of the stadium to find Maria, we got a call from her that there was a scalper selling tickets. We made a split decision to go into the game, which had been sold out since a few weeks after going on sale.
We sat up pretty high, but according to my grandma, those are the best seats at a sporting event because you can see everything. I cheered for Norway (sorry Danes) and Andrew sat in the middle of the Norwegian section screaming for Danmark. I have always heard that futbol games in Europe are so much more fun because of their energy and it is definitely true. They scream the entire time and have much cooler chants than we do in the US. Although Norway lost, the game was great and it was exciting to have gotten tickets at the last minute. Needless to say I am still getting flack for cheering for the “wrong team”.
