Futbol!

Since soccer (futbol) is the national sport of Costa Rica, we went to see Saprissa, San Jose's main soccer team. The players were pretty amazing, but the fans were insane! The stadium seemed to come alive with yelling, screaming, and sometimes fighting fans. Kerry and JoJo painted their faces purple (the team color),but the rest of us didn't want purple stains on our faces for the rest of the week.

Here is a picture of the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa Aymá (the Saprissa stadium):

It is named after the team's founder, Estadio Ricardo. The stadium seats 23,112 people and is the largest stadium in the country.

Suprima the Brujas, a team from Desamparados, Costa Rica. I honestly didn't care who won (and most of the time, I couldn't really tell who was winning), but some fans took the game really seriously.

Even though I didn't really care about the game, I was just as excited as everyone else when Suprima won. The energy running through that stadium is definitely contagious.
