Today was what had been marketed as the "Night of Champions" at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. MLS Champions Columbus Crew taking on the Quakes and then followed by FC Barcelona vs Club Deportivo Guadalajara (Chivas). Prior to the football, we had a great turnout for a tailgate in the 'Stick parking lot (friends from church, work, relatives, friends of friends). Of course we had way too much food - H was an amazing tailgate host! The lot was filled with Barca and Chivas supporters + football fans in general. Latin music, thousands of bbqs....alot of fun.
The Q's drop the first game 3-nil and pretty much snuffed out any hopes for a miracle playoff run. It is too bad to see them come of such a great game against Seattle and lay an egg tonight. Barca did not disapppoint in the 2nd game. We were fortunate to be sitting above the goal Barca was targeting during the first half (before all of the subs came in after halftime). Barca is incredible - the possession game was a thing of beauty and there were several tries that easily could have been goals (including a Messi bicycle kick attempt!). The game ended in a 1-1 draw with both goals coming in the 2nd half. It was totally worth it to see Barca's first team play 45 minutes - they are incredible.
