US vs Eng Soccer...Chicago
We took the car the night before with Emily's name with Alamo. After all the trouble of driving around the whole nite searching for a car to rent we finally agree to take the care from Alamo and we had to use Emily's name because she was the only one with the CC and Alamo dont accept debit card. We took the Chevy Impala and we were on our. Way. Send Mauricio to work his OT from 2 amd till 6 am. We picked Mauricio up at about 6:30am and we were on our way to Chicago. I drove this morning event though I was kinda tired from the lack of sleep yesterday. We took about 3 and 1/2 hours this morning to arrive. We called Eng and Lulu and head straight to Chinatown to meet up with them. We (mauricio, mari, em and me) we went straight to Penang for some Malaysian food. But on the way there we met Eng and Lulu's mom. Gave Eng a scared by snatching his bag and he scream!!!...hahahaha....then came Raymond, Lulu, Tian Fong and her husband. Eng came with us to the restaurant while the rest went on their tour of Chicago. We had Hokkien Mee, Nasi Lemak, Waa Tan Hor while Mari had Japanese Sushi. After lunch we went down Michigan Ave but some how we found our way to Tian Fong apartment which is located right across Soilder Field separated by just the highway. Mauricio, Mari and Em left us at by the highway and they went to Michigan Ave. Me and Eng walk with the rest of the fans following the underpath and towards the Shed Museum and then towards the Soilder Field. We try to search for promotion booth but there were non. Probably there were more English fans from compare to US fans. We went straight into the stadium. The US team was having their warming up. Loads and tons of Englands flags were hung all over the stadium. Then came the Eng team and there was a loud roar among the English fans who filled nearly like 70% of the stadium seat. We check out some souviner but therne werent any to be found and went straight to our seats. Then both team line up for a team photo for the press.....GAME ON!!!... Kieren Richardson scored 1 goal in the first half and another in the second while US scored one consolation goal in the 2nd half. In the end the game was really exciting. Its funny so see the American fans shouting and doent really know the rules of soccer. Its would always take a while everytime the ball went to the fans....cause most of the US fans would hang on to the ball....probably thinking the rules are like baseball...hahahahaa....After the game we walk to Tian Fong apartment to meet up with the rest and we went straight home with Eng and Lulu stayed in Chiacago.
Awesome fans and a beautiful game.......
