CLASSICO

Saturday, April 10th 2010 was the date of the Classico game: The game between Futbol teams Real Madrid and Barcelona. This particular game was at Real's field, which meant that they should've had the home advantage. There were about 13 of us at our table, however, in the restaurant we were seated at, there were over 275 people packed in an area that normally seats half of that amount. There were no seats left, so there were people standing and people on the street peering at the screens. There were two Real fans at our table, but most of the restaurant was Real fans.

When Barca scored the first goal, the Real Madrid fans began chanting "Bassita chou sar, Real mitlil nar" ("what happened is okay, Real is on fire")
After the first half, nearly 40 people left to go to another restaurant, leaving our area of the restaurant dominated by Barca fans.

And when Barca scored the second goal, all hell broke loose and the Barca fans started to sing "bye bye, bye bye, bye bye ya 7elween" (bye bye, bye bye, bye bye cuties) to mock the Real fans.

The game ended with all Barca fans counting down the last ten seconds, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!!! WE WON!!!
After the bill was settled, every single person seemed to head to Bliss street and honked and cheered "GO BARCA!!!", after bliss, the procession continued onto rawche and then everyone headed home. CONGRATS BARCA :D

On a side note...

It's funny how Lebanon seemed to be united watching a futbol match, but they can't agree on everyday issues...
