We gooo we go uganda cranes we go!

This was a really bad snap shot of just how crowded it was

We goo we go uganda cranes we go! that is the phrase you need to learn if you are going to go to a Ugandan Football game you must know this phrase. I was really excited to go to a football game here in uganda. We bought uganda crane jerseys so that we wouldn't stick out, which isn't actually possible considering there was our group of muzungu's and a couple that were not african in the entire stadium.

Im so excited! and for some reason my eyes look really really blue

It was a world cup qualifier agains Senegal and so i was really excited to be in a stadium in Africa for a world cup qualifier game! The quality of the game was actually a little disappointing. i felt like we were watching a high school game in relation to the quality… BUT….. it truly was a great experience. 

Uganda Cranes warming up!!

I got really into the game because i was so frustrated with how they were playing, both teams had HORRIBLE first touches, and they were lazy and didn't make runs off the ball, and they fouled like it was the goal of the game to see who could take out the most players. which don't get me wrong i like a good shove now and then but when you have people flopping all over the place and it messes with the flow of the game i get a little upset. 

but it was so much fun! we actually landed in the front of the sports section of the newspaper. Pretty cool huh!?! 

It was my first time in Kampala which the biggest city in uganda so it was weird to be where there were so many people and to be honest i don't think i liked it very much, there were so many armored guards and people were getting things stolen right out of their hands, but we were with very trust ugandans who actually saw that someone was trying to steal a phone and began hitting the guy with his plastic horn. the guy didn't get away and the phone was returned safely. 

We are in the Newspaper!!!!

Me and Lex were both wanting to play soccer SO bad!!

There is another game this weekend that i may or may not go to, i haven't decided yet.  i liked being there but i don't know if its worth the 5 hour bus ride… i guess we will have to wait and see. 

This is why our team is so awesome, because we have rebecca and holly as our country directors.
