After the Paddington markets, we went to our first A League game, the professional soccer league in Australia. Soccer is one of the summer sports here, but not as popular as rugby or Aussie rules (footy) both played in the Fall. The more popular summer sport is cricket. Don't get Jeff started on that as he continues to watch the games on TV to figure out what the heck is going on.
Regardless we went to support the hometown team Sydney FC play the Central Coast Mariners. Honestly I have no idea where the Central Coast is, if I had to guess it would be between the North and the South coasts, somewhere in the middle, hence the name. The stadium is just around the corner from the market so it made for a very balanced day!
Here is Jeff in front of the Stadium - wearing his new jersey! He had to fit in :)
Once inside - we realized everyone here was right in telling us these games are not well attended. We didn't care - we had fun!
The blue team is Sydney FC and the yellow is the Central Coast. The game was exciting but we ended up losing 3-2.
These are the crazy fans that even yelled profanity as a group as the ref did something they did not like- very funny!
It was another fantastic night in Sydney!
