Last week I was on a big football match - for the first time in my life. The local team Cruzeiro played against a team from Chile for the Copa Libertadores - the Champions League of South America.
Being at a game in the stadium is very different than watching on TV. Everything is way bigger, way louder, more powerful... I mean, you don't just sit and watch - you don't sit at all! Instead you sing, you shout, you jump to the rhythm of the drums...
Being in the middle of thousands fellow "warriors", it reminded me of some ancient times.. When the other team has the ball we cry-out "fuck you" and "motherfuckers" and all sorts of original profanity. When they lose the ball you sing the hymn of your team! Expressing your emotions that kind of strong way is very good to free your mind ;-)
