Sports for the masses

After watching an American football match I surely had to see a "normal" football match to or should I better call it soccer? ;-) Anyway... in best American tradition they had cheerleaders too and quite good one I have to admit!



We watched the Denver Rapids vs. Dallas in their brand new stadium which holds around 18,000 people. Here you see the warm-up match a couple of hours before the main match. The stadium started to fill up in this stage.



The main match was quite good I thought. Especially at the end both teams were going for it. The Rapids are a partner team of Arsenal by the way which you could see in lots of references to Arsenal like firing a canon at the beginning of the match. Unfortunately the Rapids lost 0:1... but never less a very entertaining night!
