As surprising as it may seem, I’m not a huge football fan, even though I’m from Argentina. I have always been more into basketball, and that has always set me apart from a lot of my friends. Still, I am an Argentine at heart, and I do enjoy watching football matches from time to time. This is especially true because Carlos is a huge fan of the sport.
The other day we decided to go to see Tigre play against Estudiantes. Before the match, Carlos was reading football sites that he enjoys, such as news sites and a blog called Football By Drake, and he gave me the background on the teams that I needed to enjoy the match. It was an exciting one!
Estudiantes took the lead early on with a goal in just the first few minutes, and it looked like they might run away with it, but Tigre scored two times in the first half and another time later in the match to complete the comeback. I hadn’t seen a live football match in months and I am always happy to see the creativity and teamwork on the field. It’s what I love about basketball, too. I still think that basketball is an even more interesting display of athleticism, but I understand why football is such a beloved game.
Carlos was such a sweetheart, as usual. He really does take great care of me, but most of all I love to watch him interact with others. He playfully joked with other fans, helped an older couple to their seats, and was kind to everyone that he spoke with. It is things like that that show me that he is a good man and one that I can be proud to be with.
