The Futbol Game

August 23rd: 6:30pm @ Estadio Nacional: Universidad de Chile v. Everton

I have never been to an actual futbol(soccer) game, so when my host "step-father" invited me to go I agreed. Upon arrival at the game Cachi(step-fathers name) kept saying how this is an ancient stadium and that is was very famous...I was thinking o there must have been some awesome futbol games played here. When we got to the stadium (Estadio Nacional), it looked oddly familar but I could not put the pieces to the puzzle until Cachi said something about Allende. Thats when I realized I had seen this exact stadium in the movie Missing with Sissy Spacek (great movie btw). This was the stadium that they used during the coup in Chile to murder and hide the bodies. Interesting...anyway the game was fun, alittle cold and boring but I was able to handle it. The stadium was not full because it was not a major game however, the crowed still had great spirit. No one won the game...it was tied 1-1 (nice cold 2hr game for it to be tied)
