México - Chile
Merle and me at
Chicharito Pray before kick
A sea of green, red and white, that was the first thing we-Hugo, Merle and I-from a distance looked as we drove into Estadion Atzteka (the largest stadium here in Mexico City), for us to watch the match against Mexico, Chile. It should be the last home game before the World Cup and so we were happy to have received cards.
We got good seats, we were two hours earlier there, where we tried hard to learn the players' names by heart, which more or less worked.
When the players were finally broken in, there was a deafening noise and the green-white-red crowd roared and screamed. The 50 have traveled Chileans who were protected by 500 or more police officers, one hardly heard. All Mexicans had gone to tidy her costume to the wheel and had their wrestler masks and sombreros brought out in the national colors and dressed very creative. One of these Sombreroträger were of course in front of us, so we could see very well at times ..
Before kickoff, said Hugo us that we should particularly pay attention to Javier Hernandez, because it is currently celebrated as the hero. He is a striker and only 21 years old, but was just signed from Manchester United genommenund every Mexican is super excited about it. Usually he is only "Chicharito" (= Erb asks me-not why), since his father (also a famous football player) only chícharo was called. Merle and I took him at least with our footballing well-trained eye under the microscope and found it good as well.
scored the only goal, however, another Mexican, namely Alberto Medina, even in the 14.Minute. Overall, the game
was not terribly exciting, but consider Mexico clearly what it is a bit of hope for the World Cup. But here no one really believes a title, as the Mexicans have never progressed beyond the quarter-finals. I hope they win at least in the opening match against South Africa and expresses her busy fingers crossed, as their captain anyway no more have.
I liked the atmosphere in the stadium in any event very much and I look forward to the World Cup next month.
love from Sanja
PS: Chicharito carries his name because his father chícharo so (pea) had green eyes .. Wikipedia knows everything!
PPS: The Mexican national team adheres to the time in Germany, where they (in order to enhance self-confidence) on Sunday against Gambia and play next week against Italy
