futbol fun and no sleep

Last night Sevilla Futbol Club played Middlesbrough in the UEFA Cup in Holland, which happens to be the second best futbol cup in Europe. It actually wasn't necessary to watch the game or even read the newspaper to see who won: everytime Sevilla scored (four times), the city erupted in collective cheer from every corner and the cars honked the Sevilla FC win tune. When they finally won, well, the screams, fireworks, and horns went on all night and have continued into today because the cup and the players are, as we speak, making their way to the Ayuntamiento government building where there will undoubtedly be more cheering, screaming, and singing. I have never seen anything quite like this, especially since Sevilla has two rivaling futbol teams. But they're all pretty near crazy with their songs, their cheers, their red and white, and their scarves.
