paris saint-germain soccer game

17 novembre 2012

on saturday evening, i went to the paris saint-germain soccer game with alicia, annie, kayla, maddie, natey, noah, and maddie. it was such a blast!!

the tuesday before the game, we met up at the psg (paris saint-germain) store and bought our tickets. they were way cheaper than we were thinking, and we got seats all together. so on saturday after learning how to make macarons with a woman in the stake (yeah. we did that.), we headed off to the parc de prince.

the soccer game was super hardcore. there was one section of fans that i swear never stopped yelling. i LOVED it! the huge stadium was so alive. people were jumping up and down, yelling in french, and everyone was just so excited to be there. i loved that.

while we were there, the things that i noticed the most were the pride and the lifestyle. soccer in europe is such a source of pride for the people. it's like americans and their sports teams, only i feel like it's even more important. maybe that's just me. and it's a way of life. people at the stadium were all about soccer - nothing else. there were entire families, people from 7 to 70 in that stadium. it's part of these people's lives - for their whole lives. i love it!
