I know this is a bit delayed in being posted, but I couldn't possibly fail to update you all on my trip to a Fiorentina soccer game! Fiorentina is the local team for the city of Florence. Although they play in the top division of Italian soccer, they have not had overwhelming success in the past few years. If I were to compare them to an American sports team, I would compare them to Rutgers Football. You know they have the potential to be great, and their fans are diehard, but they are definately not the best of the best.
However, when we went to see them on Wednesday night, they were in top form. They played a team from Genoa, Italy that was ranked 1st in the league. Amazingly enough, Fiorentina won the match 2-0! The energy of the stadium was fantastic, with everyone in purple and white singing elaborate songs that make little to no sense when translated into English... Here is a video with the Fiorentina anthem:
That's all for now!
