The fans in the shade are all standing, as we did also. The seats are more expensive. The fans were extremely loud and before the game began, the home team's song was played loudly over the speaker system, and was equally matched in volume by the fans singing along proudly.
I thankfully took the earplugs that Ulf brought along for me after the first and only goal by the home team, after only 46 seconds of play. The roar was intense! And it didn't get any quieter!
Some awesome football (?) as two players, one from each team, fall down together. Both teams were desperate for ball possession and of course for goals, which made them trip up other players (foul) often.
It was quite an experience and cannot be matched by our Australian Football fans, even AFL....when they get fired up, they don't sing or chant or beat a drum in hope of a goal, they swear at the players on the field for their missed opportunities and mistakes. Quite a contrast.
