Aztecas final

This weekend we enjoyed another great event: the first time in 10 years the American Football Team of the UDLA has reached the finales. The first problem occurred even before the game: no more tickets left.

Well what to do in good old Mexico? Just go there and check it out, there is always a way to reach your goals, that’s the Mexican motto.

So did I.

Before even getting to the entrance I met a friend who told me to enter quickly ‘cause a friend of her helps us to enter, 70 Pesos later we are in… Fácil.

The next challenge was to find a place, it seemed that the whole world was there and every centimetre of space was occupied. Finally we got quite a nice position and also the timing was perfectly. Tingler.

The whole show lasted for more than 3,5 hours and I tell you, it was fucking hot, both the game as well as the sunshine.

The vibe was overwhelming; we did a good job – until the last 40 min. After a terrible fault of an Aztec player the arch rival, the Tec de Monterrey, one of Mexico’s best universities (as well as the udla still is supposed to be) and record master in the American football league, changed everything. They took their chance…. Touchdown!

Only 4 points separated our champion team from the Tec’s but this wasn’t sufficiently.

They got another chance and did it.

We lost.

But the result and the remembering in my mind is a great game, by the way the first in my life, accompanied with a breathtaking surrounding and fans who are motivated and excited in a way I didn’t experience before.

Thank you Aztecas, the next season is waiting yet.

¡El goofy es su papaaá, el goofy es su papá!

Take care
