Respect to those few fans sitting in the uncovered corner seats. But confusion to the ones sitting at the top of that section. There were seats available all the way down ... if you're going to get rained on, may as well have a nice view as well.

Ahh the football
I took in a football match (aka soccer game) at Pittodrie Stadium in Aberdeen today. Not a great result for the home side, as they lost 3-1 to Celtic, but a good fast-paced match with some good goals, and that's really all I wanted. Other than that, it's been a quiet day. Light rain in Aberdeen. Wow - most exciting blog ever, quoting you Scottish weather. Anyway, here's a picture from Pittodrie, showing the scene. It's so nice to be in a place where soccer's a top sport (aka to be anywhere but the States).

What about that soccer player who just had the heart attack on the field?
Weird thing: that Brazilian soccer player (Pereria, 29 yrs old) died during a friendly match in 2006, and "In Oct. 2004, Sae Caetano player Serginho suffered a heart attack during a match against Sao Paulo and died on the way to hospital."
Yeah, Camille, that was maybe the scariest thing I've ever seen on a football pitch. It was a defender for Seville this time. Terrible thing. It's bound to happen every once in a while in any physically intense sport, but its still surprising. Luckily, this time, the player seems to be recovering.
Unfortunately, I spoke too soon. The player, Sevilla's Antonio Puerta, died today. He was apparently expecting a baby in like a month. Awful. I'm going to take a walk.
I hadn't heard. Sad.
