Football!!!
It’s the sport of kings…
Better than a diamond ring…
That’s why we’re here to sing…
FOOTBALL!!!
Well, not in the sense you may be thinking. “Football” means something totally different to us now since we have moved outside the United States. (However, don’t think we don’t miss our Tech games!)
As many of you may know, the World Cup is happening next year. Just recently, the Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) national team just qualified for the World Cup. We have had amazing opportunities to see culture here through watching a couple of games at a cafe very near to our home. In fact, this is where we have made a lot of our local friends (for example, Jess’ friend Didi).
We missed watching the first game that happened right after we moved here. But, we certainly found out about it as we were able to hear cheering and yelling from our balcony all around us.
Also, let me give you one more quick story. The last game that we went to, we walked into the cafe and started making our way to the back through the crowd of people. Before we got through, some of the guys up front started telling us to sit with them and made seats for us. This definitely helped us see feel like a part of our new home.
Well, here is a video that I took shortly after the BiH national team won their game clinching their spot into the World Cup.
Prijatno (Enjoy)!!!
