Viva Espana! Go Atletico Madrid! On Thursday night I, along with a bunch of crazy, drunk, men, got to watch Club Atletico Madrid play the bloody English team Bolton FC. Unfortunately, the score was 0-0 so nobody won. Madrid was way better though, except the Bolton goalie was on the ball.(nice pun) We(Atletico) had so many shots on goal, just none were good enough. It was such an exciting game though, on and off the field. There was a huge rowdy group across the stadium from us, and just after the game started they let off a huge stink bomb that the smoke was all over! ha we didn't think much of it until we looked over and someone had a firework or something, and all the people scattered to the edges. The scary bomb squad police had come up from the field and were chasing the crazies. Then probably 20 minutes later. Right up and to the left of us were all the Bolton fans. They started fighting with the Madrid fans. Then this huge fight broke out. Bodies were flying over the chairs, and then when the bomb squad came to the scene to break things up, they started dragging bodies around! It was the craziest thing. Luckily we didn't get beat up, because shocker, we don't really look Spanish! When we were walking to the game, the police told us to turn around and go in on the English side. We were way close to the entrance, and we were like oh no we are Atletico fans. He was like well, you don't look like Atletico fans, you look British! We could sense his seriousness, and then he said I am just telling you for your safety! They are very serious about these things! When we were walking out there were tons of police lining every street for like a mile! Oh my it was so awesome though. It was so good to be watching sports, in Spain!
