10 Things I learned about italians (and life) from attending the AC Milan game:
1-The presence of David Beckham can turn the most sensible of girls into a giddy, giggly mess of schoolgirl adoration.
2-Soccer is not for the faint of heart.
3-Goals are cause for INTENSE celebration. I'm not talking high fives and woo-hoos; I'm talking weeping, group hugs, and prayers of thanks. And these are the tough guys.
4-Girls are scarce at soccer games. Ladies, if you attend a game, be prepared to be a foreigner in Boy Town.
5-You need legitimate documentation to purchase a ticket. Passport, driver's license, visa...SOCCER IS SERIOUS BUSINESS.
6-Soccer games are not family-friendly affairs. (I'm pretty sure that most of what the fans were shouting and singing was not even age-appropriate for me...)
7-Missing a penalty kick earns you the death penalty in the eyes of the people (that means you, Ronaldinho!).
8-Smoking is strongly encouraged. Athletes thrive on nicotene in the air...
9-BYOB (Bring Your Own Bread)
10-Seats are not for sitting, they're for standing.
