Eurocup

vs.

So FOOTBALL is the big game over here. And that's European football (soccer) not American football. I'm not really into sports, in general. Other than really loved following the Lakers back when Shaq and Kobe were together. But anyhow, my friend Sun is a huge AC Milan fan so I followed him out to a pub to watch the Eurocup game. We went to the Montague Pyke near Leicester Square where they have these huge screens and there were a shitload of blokes gathered in a queue outside to pay £3 to get into a pub. I got bored with the game before it even started. But I sat down at a random booth and made friends and got fucking pissed.


Darfman, Marcel (Liverpool fan) and Sun (AC Milan fan).


VJ, a 17-year-old who snuck into the pub on a fake ID to get piss drunk rather than study for his A-levels this week. Liverpool fan. Can you tell? This is him screaming LIVERPOOL!!!! He convinced me to root for Liverpool because Americans own the Liverpool football club now, but then he blamed me when they lost. Damn Americans!


My new friend Hannah, one of the only other girls in the pub. She doesn't care about football either so we just drank pint after pint...this is me after a few. We were thinking since there were so few girls in the pub, it would be the first time the guys toilet would have a longer queue than the girl's. BUT they turned the girls bathroom into the guys and gave us the shitty one downstairs! DAMMIT!


Hannah and Siyed. We just got drunk and took pictures with sunglasses on.


Me and AJ, VJ's older brother. Ironically, VJ didn't get carded, but his older brother did. I got carded too! WTF?


Sad look of anticipation after Milan scored two points. Guys get so emotional watching football.


But joy after Liverpool scored one point. There were only like 5 minutes left in the game so it was pretty much screwed though.


So tears when Liverpool lost. Final score, 2-1 Milan.


Didn't really matter so me, though, since this was my view of the whole game. I had 5 or 6 or possibly 7 pints. And I hadn't eaten anything all day other than a bag of crisps...eeks!


Sun was really happy, but Marcel wasn't. This is Marcel choking Sun with his Milan scarf. Misplaced frustration.

Afterwards, we went to eat Chinese food in Leicester Square. I was pisssssed, in a good way. I like football! It's a great excuse to get drunk...although I've been hung over all day.
