steph and i went to see chivas usa (which doesn’t sound like an american team) vs. dc united (which sounds like a ripoff of manchester united) at the home depot center in carson. i’d never been to a soccer game, and i’d always wanted to check out the stadium since it’s right next to where i went to high school.

the game was kinda boring up until the last few minutes when chivas usa scored 3 goals to win the game 3-1. soccer’s also interesting in that there’s 90 minutes, and the clock never stops running (except for half time), so the game didn’t take too long, unlike basketball, which has 48 minutes of gameplay but usually takes 2+ hours.

not sure if i’ll go back anytime soon, since i don’t really follow soccer at all and can’t imagine i ever will, but it was a fun experience nonetheless:
