Football Match: Coventry vs. Queen Park



Today, I attended another Emory outing - this time it was a football (soccer) game between two clubs in the  Championship League (In 2011 QPR will move up to the Premier League, the top league in Europe).  It was a good experience - we had pretty good seats so we could see the action well and the atmosphere was nice (the fans were very passionate).  There were Danish guys behind us chanting in Danish, which was an interesting experience.  Also, the stadium food included steak and ale pies, Cadbury instant drinks, and beer/cider by the pint - I found this to be an interesting cultural difference from what is normally served at American sports venues
