Oly White vs korea

Its pouring down with rain I've lost my friends in the crowds of umbrellas and now I have to produce my ticket that my mate has who is already inside.  Hmmmm.  I hear my name being  shouted from above and see said friend hanging over the side of the stadium with my ticket in his hand.  Before I have time to react he is dangling it over the railing so I run to catch it on the way brushing my umbrella past a ladies face. She looked at me with the eyes of the devil and perhaps with less Soju in my system I may have stopped and apologised but instead I reached for the ticket and ran to the gates.
So far today has been awesome.  I've met rob for a much needed coffee. Met up with Sam at Seoul station where we booked and paid for our train to take us down to busan for our much needed holiday in two weeks and had lunch at a Korean BBQ with a whole bunch of kiwis.  And now I'm heading into the Seoul Olympic stadium to watch the under 23 nz soccer team kick Koreas arse.
On the way in I purchased a rain poncho for 2 bucks so I look like a plastic bag that has been been drowned in the river.  Finding my seat I am thankful for the Cass that Rob puts in my hand and take in my surroundings.  There are no less then 20 of us kiwis all proudly wearing white to support the Oly whites.  We have a huge nz flag tied to the railing infront and we stand proud singing the national anthem along with the players.  The game itself is a blur of rain, shouting, cheering, the usual kiwi abuse and the celebrations as we score a goal.  Well gone with
 all the Soju and beer in our systems we enjoy every minute. Even though we lost we had a blast of a time and I hear that if you were watching the  game on sky you would have caught a glimpse  of our rowdiness.  For only 20 bucks seeing a live soccer game in Korea is a must! . At the conclusion 2pm (a huge k pop band ) came out and performed and then booted no less than 100 singed balls into this  crowd I tried so hard to get one but was seeing double so had no chance! !
