On Friday, September 7th a big group of us went to the Ecuador vs. Bolivia game. These games are to qualify for the FIFA World Cup in Brazil in 2014. There are three main teams here in Quito. There is the national team (yellow jerseys), La Liga (white jerseys), and Deportivo Quito (blue). Pretty much everyone in Ecuador is a fan of the national team so game day is very exciting since everyone in town is wearing their jerseys that day.
We all met up outside the mall to enjoy a few beers before the 4pm start of the game. Then we headed into the stadium. Our seats were right behind the goal which was awesome, but not so awesome for pictures because there was a fence. However, in the second half we scored the game-winning goal off of a penalty kick, and the shot was taken on the net right in front of us!
As soon as we scored everyone went crazy and started throwing beer.
There was also a lot of colored smoke (red, blue, yellow for the national colors). The atmosphere of the game was awesome! The next game we are going to is Ecuador vs. Chile on October 12th.
