AS ROMA vs INTER

after going to my last italian class alec, frank, zak, zach, nick, and myself had a bite to eat and were out the door heading to the stadio olympico to watch AS ROMA vs INTER match. we finally found the tram that would take us as far as the river. this saved us about a 50 minute walk. after getting to the stadio we bought some scarves. mine looks a lot like a harry potter scarf. anyway we found out that the game started at 8:30 pm. it was 5:00 pm when we found this out. none of us had checked our tickets for the match time. as we were walking a way from the stadium some old woman started to swear at me in italian and made racial slurs, while pointing at me just to let me know that she was talking to me. everyone was very confussed. after that experience we went to a café and some of the guys bought some beer and we sat in a park close by and talked until game time. after everyone had killed their drinks we found some seats in the general area of our own seats. people normally don't care about assigned seatting here, it's basically first come, first serve. although this time a guy wanted his seat and kicked zak out of his seat. so we moved closer. the game was amazing. we saw so many stars playing it wasn't even funny. the fans were going nuts and i heard that there were about 66,000 fans at the game. inter pulled out the victory with an amazing goal by herman crespo. the inter fans came out in force, there was definetly some bad blood between the roma and inter fans. at the end of the game when the inter fans started teasing the roma fans, some roma fans broke threw the plexiglass barriers. nothing happened though. so in short the game was amazing and that old italian woman...yeah.
