Good day sports fans, welcome to the Itaewon International Sportscrawl, featuring two different locales and two different sports.
First up, it’s South Africa v New Zealand in rugby at Braai Republic.
Next up it’s Manchester United hosting Crystal Palace at Sam Ryan’s…
Where friends were met…
And new friends were made…
We’ll see you next time.
There’s a lot to be said for the consistency of football fans around the world. Of the few matches Jenn and I have been to in four different countries, we can confirm that generally there’s the same passion in the way the sporting-event-attending culture embrace the highs and lows of the game.
Interestingly, I have to give credit to FIFA and the way the same rules apply globally. Football is really the World’s Beautiful Game, and I believe that the beauty could come from the universal adoption and standards.
So whether you’re here:
Lazio v Catania at Stadio Olympico, Rome, 30 March 2013
or here:
Republic of Korea v Peru at Suwon World Cup Stadium, 14 August 2013
The atmosphere is pretty much the same…
