futbol game

Universidad de Chile vs. Quilmes. 35000 people showed up for the copa liberadores game against argentina. it was so CRAZY. when you think of south america futbol .. its that times ten. the riot police were decked out and ready .. tear gas and all .. they even had to break into the stands to stop a fight that broke out. another fight broke out higher up and i definitely saw a broom stick thrown around. we ended up winning in the 91st minute so the crowd went insane! the guy next to us lit a flare and some guy even picked up my brother swinging him around. the fans shot off fireworks when we scored and a firework even went off incorrectly in the stands. it was weird but understandable that no women go to the games since its pretty dangerous and i saw one guy with a broken arm. however the game was AWESOME. =) i wish we had games like that back at home .. so much enthusiasm .. tons of banners .. flags .. everyone knows all of the team songs and chants.
