At the casino fundraiser, my bid won 4 tickets to the US-Mexico friendly match on 2 April at Univ. of Phx Stadium (where the AZ Cardinals play out in Glendale). Zeus wasn't able to go, so a couple buddies from work joined Jacopone and I in our awesome seats on the 35 yard line only 17 rows up. The fan base was about 80% for Mexico, unfortunately, but there was a rowdy group for the U.S., probably half of them just to antagonize the Mexican supporters. The US jumped out to a 2-0 ("dos a cero") lead by halftime, but the Mexicans got an easy goal on a set piece, which fired up the crowd, and another to tie. We got robbed in the 80th minute on a bad on-side call, then didn't get a penalty kick in the box when we should've. Still, a good time (if very late night).
