Champions League Final Redux
Affiliation Number 1: Milan
Last week, when we were trying to figure which team to root for: Liverpool or Milan, we decided we would be supporting Milan for no other reason than the fact that Kyle simply HATES that Peter Crouch guy. And, honestly, how could one blame him for that?!
Affiliation Number 2: Liverpool
For some god-unknown reason, Peio is a Liverpool supporter. Don't really remember why. Reasons had something to do with his primary team of choice losing against Milan in a previous round of the tournament and him still holding a grudge. Men...
Affiliation Number 3: Jameson
We decide that the best place to watch the final of the European Soccer Champions League would be JJ Murphy's: the first Irish Pub to open in Bulgaria after the fall of communism. The place is extremely popular, especially on soccer days when big fans of all nationalities gather in front of the big screens to partake in all kinds of sportsmanlike festivities. Perfect place for watching the finals, especially given the fact they serve the BEST Jameson I've ever had and that says A LOT.
So we show up, big smiles and affiliations and all...only to find out that we are not the only people who had the great idea to watch the game there. The ENTIRE MEMBERSHIP OF THE LIVERPOOL FANCLUB IN SOFIA had had that very same thought as well.
We end up spending the rest of the evening pretending we are Liverpool fans. Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpooooooooool!
For all of those who've always wondered, let me break it to you: the only difference between regular game-watchers and the fanclub crowd is that regular people drink and curse sometimes. Fanclub dudes drink like fish and curse like motherfuckers. The amusing part about this particular game was that all the Bulgarian kids were cursing in English. VERY FUNNNY because all they could say was: WANKER and FUCKING FUCK! Which, of course, are excellent things to know but get a bit old after being used over and over and over again for a total of about two hours.
At the end of it all:
Kyle and I had to pretend that we were saddened by Liverpool's loss. Peio was pretty disappointed by the final score, but the beer consumed in the meantime managed to help put things in perspective...
You win some, you lose some, you drink some...you know.

omg... :) oh well, ok, if you were anti-crouch that does not necessarily make you pro-milan, so it was perfectly ok you ended singing 'liverpool, liverpool, liverpooool', wasn't it :) i admit, this is my twisted perspective (i am still so sad *sheds a tear*) :)
We were not VERY pro-Milan because we did not want to offend Liverpool fans who really cared about the game. But as you very well know, watching a game is soo much more fun if you pick a team to support. We didn't care about either one of the teams, so we had to figure out a way to decide...Crouch was an easy target. Always wondered...what do you Liverpool fans think of him: love him or hate him?
:))
definitely love him! a couple of great goals, commitment, and he gave the world the robot dance :) he'll never be even close to being one of our best forwards or a club legend. to be honest, i think he's an average player, but the nice fella he is - definitely love him. :)
the first thing, that i thought/felt seeing this post, was a surprise that you have fun watching soccer matches. but after i've read it, thought that it may be really fun, especially if there is a lot of beer and whisky to be drunk and a loud company that makes you laugh (been there, done that). i can't find anything else amusing about a soccer match :-)
well, actually, whiskey is not the ONLY thing i enjoy about watching football. i happen to find the game quite exciting, especially when decent teams are playing. but you are absolutely right, that in the presence of good drinks and even better friends, most events become quite spectacular. :)))
heh :) I love watching good matches and my friends love watching me watch Manchester United matches...cause then I talk non-stop, curse (in every language I know..quite innovative sometimes), jump, praise, sing, yell, drink, shiver...I'll stop here, Vladimir knows what I'm talking about but for Liverpool matches :)
My advice to you and Kyle? Don't hold your breaths for Golden Globes! The picture of you two trying to look sad that Liverpool lost were hilarious! lol
z:
so i think it has now become clear that we should watch a game together some time soon.
brooke:
that was actually the MOST serious of all the "serious" pictures we tried to take. so, not only are we not very good actors, but we are also potentially very expensive as we require many takes! :)
the football (or soccer, whatever :) ) season is over, but there are still some EURO qualifiers coming :)
