Saw my first British football, er Soccer, match yesterday. Nottingham Forest were the visiting team, for whom I was rooting, and they played Cristal Palace. Tragically it was a 0-0 tie game, though Forest managed to score 3 times, all three times were disallowed on the gounds of someone being offsides. Bit of a let-down. Anyways, it was a great time, far better than your average American sports event where people leave half way through and are barely halfway aware of what's goind on. At the match yesterday, not only was everyone's attention riveted, but the fans were so enthusiastic they had to be separated into home and away goups so as to avoid mayhem. The crowd was in almost constant song, very little of which I could understand, but it was all quite theatric and excellent.
