A Night to Remember



A few weeks back when i saw that a friendly match between brazil and sweden at the Emirates Stadium was on general sale a dream was about to be fulfilled. Gathered a group who wanted to experience what its like to watch a match and we booked 8 tickets for the big day. I wasn't really that excited till the the big day, though it was the Arsenal Stadium i wasn't watching an Arsenal match live as yet in the stadium. That day too will come im sure.

The news of Ronaldinihio and Kaka missing the clash din't really spoil the spirits, ev1 were eager and looking forward for it. The 8 of us were supposed to meet at rosebery at 6 in the evening and head to the stadium by around 7 or so. Part of our custom we are always late never the less we have our fun and hold no issues with it. After some minor delays we caught a bus to the stadium at around 7 hoping to be their on time. To our bad luck the bus we took broke down and added to that there was such a huge jam. We decided to walk it instead of waiting for another bus and heading to the place in the chaotic traffic.

Some brisk walking and catching up on some beer and snacks on the way we caught sight of the "BEAUTY" and thats when i really felt my pulse and the excitement. There was the sudden rush of blood and a deep desire within me to run right through as soon as possible. As we entered the stadium the players walked onto the field and the stadium was still filling up at that moment.

The atmosphere was electrifying, we shouted our lungs out, danced to the samba tunes, the mexican waves and we almost brought the stadium down with everyone banging their feet onto the ground in tandem. There were even boo's around the ground for anderson well he came to his rivals stadium he had to face it goes with the game i guess. Pato was the star of the evening. Gave us all the sight to view the first live goal and boy was it a sweet strike and a good finish.

The game though wasn't too competitive it was a worth while experience and has given me a great desire to go back and watch more. The night dint end there had a really long walk in the rain got drenched in it after ages and boy was it great, as i sip on some hot coffee and after relishing some gulab jamuns some advice for those who missed out today "GO EXPERIENCE IT, ITS A GREAT FEELING".

I'm HIGH on life at the moment with a dream brought to life made my evening which im bound to remember for the rest of my life.
