Champions League Baby!!



So my goal when I got to Italy was to attend at least 3 soccer matches: an Italian International Game (which I already went to 3 weeks ago), a Serie A match, and a Champions League game. Well as you can see I bought my ticket for the Champions League Group Stage Match for AS Roma vs. Olympiakos FC. For those of you who don't know the Champions League is a tournament of all the best club teams in Europe. Italy has 3 teams in it this year, one which happens to be my favorite...AS Roma! Because I now have been to a game I had a good understanding of where the good cheap seats were. So I managed to get really good seats for 15 euro each. My Italian is getting pretty good so I can actually buy tickets speaking mainly Italian. Two of my friends (and native Romans), Antonio and Francesco Alto, are coming along. So I'm pumped. The game is on Halloween night, which is good because November 1st is an Italian holiday.
