Argentina 3, Bolivia 0

November 18, 2007

Unfortunately we picked a time to be in Buenos Aires when there aren´t any normal league games going on for a couple weeks due to an international break for things like Euro Cup and World Cup qualifier matches. Luckily though, Argentina had a World Cup qualifier right here in B.A. and so instead of getting to see Boca Jrs. play we got to see the Argentina national team play (Messi, Tevez, Riquelme, etc) …

The game was held at the River Plate stadium, the largest in Argentina, and ended with a 3-0 result in favor of Argentina, naturally. One fun thing that you are not likely to see at a game in the states is that during the second half it was getting very hot for folks in the sunny parts of the stadium, so the fire department opened up some hoses to cool people off. Luckily we were in a shaded area which was actually quite pleasant =)

    Ha, I watched that game while in BCN to see how Messi did on his native turf. Frankly I was just scared he’d get injured in a game that didn’t matter! ;) (Go Barca!)
