Saturday night we sat in the pouring rain and watch the REAL Soccer season opening match against the LA Galaxy. We were frozen and soaking wet by the time it was over, but it was so worth it. It was an exciting game full of beautiful plays, angry fans, fireworks and plenty of yellow cards. And to top it off we won 4-1. I have to admit that my favorite part of the game was when they put Jimmer (BYU basketball star) up on the big screen and while everyone was checking him out REAL scored and we all missed it. It was hilarious and infuriating at the same time. Thanks goodness for instant reply.
I'm so excited for the season to finally get started. We have gone to a couple of games here and there over the past few years, but this year Rivetal got season tickets so we will be going all the time. I've always been a soccer fan and I'm excited to see the rest of the family catch the spirit.
David Beckham plays for LA Galaxy so I finally got to see him play and I have to admit, I wasn't that impressed. He wore a silly headband the whole game and really didn't do anything that spectacular. The girls loved how the crowd would BOO every time he got near the ball.
Can you tell that some of us had more fun than others? Poor Syd only likes to come to the games for cotton candy and churros....and once they were gone she was just cold and wet.
That picture of Syd is hilarious! Classic "I am not happy" face. Looks like a fun adventure.

It was such a fun game! We got lucky with our seats and we never felt even one drop of rain! I felt so bad for all the people who were soaked from head to toe! But thank heavens for churros and cotton candy. :) This was by far the most fun Real game that we've been to!

That is the most perfect sad Syd picture I could have imagined. Shouldn't be laughing about it, but it made my morning :)
