One of my favorite things to do growing up since I was in about junior high was to attend sports games, and a lot of it had to do with the fact that my hometown basically revolves around our school. Obviously I was never really that good at playing sports, but I am absolutely fantastic at cheering, yelling, socializing, acting like I know what’s going on, and of course usually there is at least one cute boy on the team to make me pay at least a little attention to the game.
Anyway, like I have said before on here, I really don’t understand soccer, but people are obsessed with it pretty much everywhere but the United States, and it just so happens that my four best friends here play soccer in college. Therefore, I hear about it constantly and have probably watched more soccer in the past 2 months than I have in the past 10 years of my life. Watching it on television is one thing (aka boring), but being at the game is super fun!
Yesterday practically everyone in DIS went to the F.C. København vs. Brøndby match because all students who are in Danish Language and Culture got tickets for one of our “field studies.” Yep, I didn’t really watch much of the game… but I did have a blast with my friends!
They were all waving blue and white flags in the picture below, and it looked so cool!
Then I look over a few seconds later… and they spelled F.C.K. (for the name of the team, fyi)!
So basically all I know about the game is that they were down 0-1 at the half, then they scored three goals in the 2nd half to win 3-1! It was a huge game because the two teams are the biggest rivals! Last year, Brøndby fans threw fireworks and other crap at F.C.K. fans, and there were a bunch of fights, etc. So Brøndby decided they didn’t want that bad reputation, and they were going to start making their fans get fingerprinted if they wanted to buy tickets for the games. Well that really made their fans angry, so they boycotted the game. There were a TON of F.C.K. fans at the game, and like 30 for Brøndby. Everyone says they don’t want to get fingerprinted because they are criminals… but everyone is says that is also fans of F.C.K. haha. Good times.
On another note, I received another package from Aunt Bobbi and Grandma today!!! I definitely already ate two of Grandma’s cookies, and I was so excited when I saw the fork marks which means peanut butter cookies! Everyone who knows me knows I LOVE peanut butter, and my host family thinks I am absolutely crazy. On Saturday morning I was eating oatmeal with a big glob of peanut butter drizzled over the top, and my host mom was like, “what are you eating!??” When I told her, she made the most disgusted face haha. Well, they eat pickled herring, so I don’t really trust their taste buds. Bobbi also sent me Girl Scout cookies, so I am going to have my host family try them tonight to see what they think! They are super healthy eaters, so they probably won’t be as excited as I am.
Unfortunately, it is time to do more homework. I really want to get these two papers finished so I can have lots of time to relax and have fun on my three day weekend!
Hej Hej!
