I’m initiating a new set in my Flickr stream, Soccer Adventures. The intent is to feature you (that’s right, you!) on this site and share your experiences taking in soccer games and culture in far flung locations. There have been submissions from World Cup 2006, a visit to Arsenal’s home pitch, and earlier visits to Dallas. But let’s kick the new section off with this submission.
My family and I went to Dallas, Texas for a family vacation and one of the highlights of our trip was going to see FC Dallas play against Pachuca at the Super Liligua. Pizza Hut Park is the name of the stadium where they played at and it is huge. There were a lot of people there and a ton of them were Mexicans yelling in Spanish for Pachuca. The game ended in a tie 1-1 and that one goal was scored by Carlos Ruiz which is the player that me and my brother got our picture taken with. The whole game was a blast and it was so awesome to be there because I am such a huge soccer fan!
