Jon and Angela Button Just another weblog 
Anyone who has lived in a country other than the USA knows that the the sport we call soccer is actually Football (So what do they call American football then? Yep you guessed it, American Football!). I had the opportunity to go to a game here at the stadium in Coimbra. The game was Académica the local team versus Benficá one of the better teams in the league. Because Portugal is not a very big country, everyone pretty much chooses their home team or one of the other three teams. The game I went to was not a very close match and had more fans from the visiting team than our home team. I went to the game with my friend Ben from England and another classmate from Canada. Who knows if I’ll go again, but I am glad to say I’ve now been to a real futebol game.
