Bought 5 shirts (3 collar shirt + 2 t-shirts). And got a crocs!! Been wanting to have a Crocs =) Crocs are veri popular here. Even got pple wear crocs to work!
Then we went 南京东路步行街 for a veri veri full dinner! Everyone ended up feeling too meaty after dinner! 2 笼 of 小笼包 to share among the 5 of us, which is 24 小笼包 in total!! And a huge bowl of noodle / wanton for each of us!
And one day, i'm wanna get the roller @ 南京东路步行街!! After 1st pay day...
Next, we headed down to the shanghai stadium to catch the Olympics Soccer Mens Quarter Finals! Argentina vs. Holland...
Saw some Holland fans @ the MRT station. They dressed in orange, and were quite high! Making quite a lot of noise and cheering, until the security guards oso a lil scared, dunnoe wad to do abt them...
And @ the shanghai stadium!! Very nicely designed stadium! Pretty wave-like shaped roof! And the football field seems larger than those in spore. Veri big stadium, a lot of space between the track and spectator stands. And becoz gt so many pple taking photos with flash, the spectator stands oso veri nice, keep shining here and there, a lil like stars shining!
No waterbottle allowed in the stadium! Hsemate nearly had to throw away his waterbottle. Tink they scared u will throw the waterbottles @ the football field. Only can buy drinks frm inside and pour into cups to bring into the stadium.
Our seats were quite good. Can see both sides scoring. Even though a lil far, cannot see faces. But doesn't realli matter to me, a soccer spectator noob, dun even noe who is who...haas...
Players warming up.....
Referees warming up too....
Players entering field...
Singing the national anthem of both Argentina & Holland...
And finally the match starts @ 9pm!!
Very exciting game! Within a first few minutes, Argentina already keep attempting goals. But keep missing. But veri soon after, Argentina finally scored their first goal!
Seems like Argentina is stronger at attacking and striking, but Holland is much better at defending. During the 1st half, quite clear that Argentina is a stronger team, but during 2nd half, Holland seems stronger.
Not long after, Holland scored their first goal too! And the match ended with a draw 1-1. Extra time of 30 mins (1st half - 15mins, 2nd half - 15 mins)
Argentina finally scored a 2nd goal during 2nd half additional time. The last few minutes were even more exciting. Holland keep having corner kicks, some almost near goals! Hoping for a draw again, then we can watch penalty kicks. Make our 200RMB ticket even more worth it. But nahh, match ended with Argentina winning 2-1!
Gg home frm the stadium was another headache...Haas...
