FORZA VIOLA!
Sunday I woke up a little early to try to get tickets to the Fiorentina soccer match. We walked into town and found the ticket booth pretty easily, and there were still plenty of tickets available. For some reason they charge guys more than girls for the tickets, but they were only about 18 euro so I was okay with it.
Then I headed over to Gallo D'Oro to hang out with some of the guys before the game. It was good to catch up with everyone and hear how Siena and San Gimagnano went. I told them all about Cinqueterre and we decided that we would go back as a group of guys in late October. Engel started the tradition of mounting their finished wine boxes on their wall. I don't think it's going to take too long to cover the whole thing.
The game was a lot of fun. I bought a cheap Luca Toni jersey outside and then went into the stadium. It wasn't completely full, but it was pretty close. The away section was completely fenced off, we're talking 30 foot plexi glass on both sides. There were tons of flags and huge signs throughout the crowd.
As soon as the teams took the field, some guy on the PA system started singing songs. The crowd stands the entire time and sings all sorts of songs that I don't understand yet but hope to learn soon. This goes on for the entire game.
Fiorentina beat the other team pretty bad, and the other team received two red cards. Toni scored the second goal and the final was 3-0. The game was a great way to wrap up an incredible weekend.
