-USA vs Argentina soccer game at the Meadowlands Stadium with Rafa (26 March 2011)
Final Score: USA 1; Argentina 1
Someone from Rafa's class at Columbia arranged the whole thing (a huge group of them even rented a cheese bus and got to the stadium hours early to tailgate)
It was a really fun game, especially getting to see one of the best players in the world, Lionel Messi on Argentina (with his bright orange shoes, it was hard to miss him - his ball handling and control was so smooth, it almost seemed like he was just taking it easy - every time he got the ball, you could almost feel the collective "oh, no..." from the US fans)
one of the many decked-out soccer-loving patriotsnever have a I heard so many U! S! A! chants and cheers, even on the trains from Penn Station!
The only downside was during the bag/body check, the woman told me I couldn't bring in my reusable metal water bottle :( so I had to throw my awesome, green, tilted, dented, favorite, grenade-looking water bottle that I've had for 3+ years into a garbage can... I don't even really understand why... it was completely empty... I guess Meadowlands stadium isn't into being eco-friendly...
