Yes it is! i just experienced one of the best days of my life. like i mentioned in my previous post. i went to the national stadium yesterday to watch Liverpool's pre-season friendly against Singapore with Haikel.
Before that, i had lunch at Pizza Hut with 3 of my secondary school friends Qiu Lyng, Lai Ying and Jasmine. Haven't seen them for a long time, so i was very glad to see them and talk to them. It was reminiscent of the times in secondary school where we would go to the nearby pizza hut near westmall to have our lunch almost every week. LOL!
Then me and haikel headed off to the national stadium.
It was just plain awesome! we were singing Liverpool songs and chants before the match! Singing you'll never walk alone and the Torres Song. It felt as though i was really in Anfield in Liverpool,England. This is the closest i can ever get to experiencing what Anfield feels like on a Matchday.
There were some interesting incidents before the match. A Man Utd fan was spotted wearing a Man Utd jersey with the words: OWEN 7 on his back, and he was walking up towards the East Stand where Singapore's most fanatical Liverpool Fans were Seating.
The reaction is of no surprise. He got BOO-ed like there was no tomorrow. All of us were shouting, MAN U SUCKS! MAN U SUCKS! MAN U SUCKS! he was still putting on a brave face i think. couldnt really see him clearly. and before that another crazy fan was wearing a chelsea jersey. She got boo-ed as well.
And even way before all that happened. Everyone in the stadium were making a parody of the popular Man United song. Glory Glory Glory Man united. But this time we changed it to. WHO THE FUCK ARE MAN UNITED? WHO THE FUCK ARE MAN UNITED? oh well. Liverpool Fans really don't like Manchester United. So don't blame us for making up such songs. It's all a part of Football Banter. At the end of the day. we are all football fans :)
Needless to say, my favourite part of the day was the match itself. I've never seen the Liverpool players live in front of my eyes before until yesterday. And i was star strucked when i saw the players. They totally owned Singapore. Felt bad for Singapore. The entire stadium was supporting Liverpool instead of them. But it's just a friendly, so its okay i guess. I'm sure the national team knows how we feel.
And when Fernando Torres came on, i was shouting like mad! And it got even more crazier when he scored liverpool's 4th goal! everyone was absolutely mad! Shouting Torre's name with voices so loud it could blow off the roof of the stadium if it had one.
At the end of the day, i told myself that the $88 i spent on the ticket and the $15 i spent on the Scarf, was all worth it! I may have to wait for another 8 years or even longer for them to come to Singapore again! When that time comes, i hope to be able to get seats which has a greater view than this year :) hahaha
Till then, i just gotta wish the team luck for its remaining pre-season friendlies and ahead of the new season! I hope this victory would be the spark for the team to go on and win the Barclays Premier League Title 09/10. !
C'mon you reds! C'mon Gerrard! C'mon Torres!
