1. Sporting events in Italy are way crazy, they basically let you do whatever you want. People were sitting in the walkways, on the fences, getting into fights and security doesn't care.
2. Italians LOVE their futbol. Every time a Roma player would mess up a play, they would freak out, curse in Italian and genuinely act like their world was crashing down (including the kids, minus the cursing). It was pretty hilarious. They also have a few songs/cheers for the Roma team that are way cool and I'm determined to learn them.
3. The stadium that AS Roma plays in is the Stadio Olimpico where the 1960 Summer Olympic games where held and holds over 72,000 people. Rome is officially in the running for the Summer games in 2020, that would be so sweet to come back for it!!!!
4. We made sure to buy some Roma gear before going to the game so we would somewhat blend in and so the crazy fan's would know we're on Roma's side. We saw some other American's at the game, in Roma gear but totally stood out because they were being really loud and obnoxious. It's so annoying when people act like that and give the rest of us American's a bad name. A lot of Italians don't have any patience for American's because of people like these girls and it sucks for the rest of us...
