All-Star game!

So one day at work, while i was busy doing work stuff on my computer, one of my co-workers brought up the idea of going to the MLS all-star game. they had a really good deal going on for tickets so it was pretty much decided within 30 seconds of the idea being presented that we would go.

probably the funnest part from before the match was rubbing in the fact that we were leaving work early to go watch live while everyone else slaved away inside on a beautiful evening.

i would have to say that it was pretty amazing. the weather was perfect, and we had some pretty good seats. they also had this service where all we had to do was register and they would send us a text with a menu. it had everything from drinks to snacks and even clothes. once you ordered they would just put the charge on your card and bring the item to your seat. we took advantage of this by ordering all-star scarves. sure enough they showed up within like five minutes.

this year the MLS all-stars played Everton from the english premier league. we were excited because tim howard is the keeper for everton and he is pretty much an impermeable wall.

here are some pictures:



this was at the start of the match. business time.




the match ended regulation in a tie and so they went on to penalty kicks. this is landon donavan against tim howard. landon won the battle, but everton won the war. it was epic. just a side note, i think that landon is maybe four feet tall? that barrier that all the camera men are hiding behind literally came up to his chest. but he makes a ton more money than i do, so i guess i can't knock the guy too bad.


this being my first MLS match i would have to say that i hope it is not my last.
