After bugging Carlos for over 2 years about going to a professional soccer game in Chile, we went to Vina's local team, Everton. They played against a team from Venezuela. A lot of the games in Chile can be very dangerous to go to, the fans are really really loyal and rowdy. Everton is a little calmer and the fans aren't as crazy, which is why we went. But it was still a lot of fun!!!

Enjoy the pics.

There were about 6 guys at the very top of the bleachers with these fire exstinguishers. At the start of the game, they spray blue powder EVERYWHERE!!!
