Monday, 28th July was the friendly match between Brazil Olympic Team and Singapore Selection Team (the Brazilian team came over to S'pore to have their pre-olympic training). And WF got two sponsored grandstand tickets for this match. I'm not really a soccer fan and neither is WF. But since we're staying close to the Kallang stadium (15min walks), we might as well go and watch. And this is my first time watching a live soccer match.
Even though it was a Monday night, the place is about 70% filled. Musics and cheerings from both side of the supporters are very much active. There were drums and tambourines with the Brazilian supporters dancing to the samba beat. The singapore supporters cheering on the home team with big banners. And of course, we did a few rounds of the Kallang waves. Which I thought this was the highlight of the match, to me solely. The match was almost unexciting and predictable. With the Brazilian scoring 3 goals and Singapore none. Nevertheless, our players did make a shot or two at the opponent but most of shots went skyrocket. And our goalkeeper managed to save quite a few shots which otherwise, the score might have a wider margin.
So much for my first live soccer match!
