The game was a double header, with the first game being North Korea vs Panama.
We were supporting Argentina, which ended up being what the majority of the fans were.
Lots of people standing on the bridge to get a free view.
Some opening festivities.
About 5 minutes before the first game ended, the Argentinian fans could no longer contain themselves. The drums and songs started. Here a giant Argentina flag is passed over the crowd.
Here's a video of the scene:
We learned a couple new songs that day.
Oh it was also Canada Day (their Independence day) the next day. Fun fact that this was the second time we were in Canada for Canada day.
The crowd was pretty full for this marquee game against the Czech Republic.
It ended in a tie, but was fun!
