Football

All these posts about sports, you'd think i was a big sports fan. Outside of north america, football (errr soccer) is _the_ sport. a couple days ago i was walking down the main street in dublin looking for stores that sell maps (im looking to put a world map on my wall...but that's another story altogether). finally someone points me to a large bookstore. i walk inside and it's absolutely packed with people...my immediate thought is, how on earth are they going to prevent people from stealing books? anyway, all of a sudden i hear a loud cheer from the back of the store where most of the people are concentrated...so i go over for a look, and sitting down signing copies of his new autobiography is Pelé. Yes Pelé. So there i am, Mr. Pelé is a few steps away, but im hungry, and instead of picking up a copy of his book and waiting in line like the rest of the lemmings, i went home to eat lunch...told you i'm not much of a sports fan.

To redeem myself, today after work im going to a Chilé vs Ireland football match. Yes, both teams didn't even qualify for the world cup, but the tickets are free.
