Word of the day: Futbol/ Voetbal (Soccer)
Tonight Steve and I went with one of his co-workers, and his friend who happens to be a U.S. exchange student studying here in Maastricht, to a professional soccer game in Rotterdam. Steve had been to a European game while he studied/worked in Ireland during his MBA, but this was my first game.
It was definitely a little different than I was expecting, and by that I mean it wasn't "beefed-up" like professional sports in the U.S. Now I don't know how much these players make, but we are definitely paying our professionals' salaries (of course we know this already.) But I will say it seemed kind of lackluster for being a professional game without beer and food being served in mass quantities, and without large screens to watch replays on. It was a good time, though the Rotterdam team who we were supposed to be cheering for lost 1-0.
Till next time...
