It is most definitely NOT 90 minutes of non-stop action man. while there are none of the scheduled time outs that american football takes, there are certainly dozens of play stoppages in soccer/futbol.
waiting around for a yellow card, or a player to stop writhing in pain. hee hee
we had a great time. I do not know when to cheer, but I figured, since I wa sititing in a predominantly Latino section, I'd just cheer when they do. Of coure I know the obvious stuff, but the fans scream loudly everytime the opposing teams keeper goes to kick the ball off. why?
The announcer on the PA at Robertson Stadium was very polite! It wa salways "Ladies and gentleman, may I have your attention. The following player has been given a yellow card warning..." very civiliized.
and once in our seats I was NOT leaving them as it was standing room only and the rules appeared to be "shuffle your rfeet lose yr seat." since there was maybe 1 usher for every 5 thousand fans.
It was great to see the suport the team has from the Houston fans. Great stuff.
