Proper Football!

Many thanks to Mr. Goodyear for last nights birthday ticket to the Asian Champions League match in Melbourne. It was a fine, fine match between Gamba Osaka FC and the Melbourne Victory. 4-3 win to Osaka ("konichwa bitches!") was chock full of excitement from both sides. Good scoring from the start with some really good headers from Osaka. I think I was one of the 150 people out of 23,800 that was wearing a Japan jersey but alas there was no hooliganism unless you count the gay boy that tried to put his arm around me a crosswalk! (I know, WTF!) He hopefully just liked the digs I was wearing. If you have yet to ever see a proper football match in a proper stadium I would do it, absolutely live atmosphere.... even if your mate books you into the dry seats!!! Cheers Gerry.
