The Azkal-Kuwait game is currently being replayed. We just finished watching the one goal our team made and the feeling of euphoria and pride was just as strong as when we first saw it during the live game last night.
We brought Javo to watch the football game together with his cousins. The atmosphere of watching a live game is more electric and brings out pride in our nation.
Rizal Memorial Stadium was full despite the rains and threat of downpours. We came ready with our raincoats and Martin's trapal from the market. Just as we were leaving the house to go to Rizal, the rain poured--giving us warning of what might be ahead. When we got there, it was like a carnival with entrepreneurs opening their trunks and selling all kinds of paraphernalia for the game. Of course the big sponsors were there with all kinds of items to be given away or sold. One could feel the excitement and anticipation all around. People were walking to their gates and looking for friends to go in together.
Cheers and screams in support of our team could be heard throughout the game. The loudest of course came when that goal was done. Our team did their best and gave us a great game. All the attempts and near-goals were proof of that. We just slowly build up our teamwork and one day we will get there.
