The Swangard stadium in Burnaby seems like a dump, which is kinda neat cuz when the Spanish team came off their bus to watch Jordan vs. Zambia, they were practically right beside me.

Spain vs. Uruguay was an amazing game. The atmosphere was alright for a stadium with 10000 capacity. I sat with a bunch of Spanish fans (who came all the way from Spain to watch their team play). They just went nuts when the goals went in, especially since our seats are SO close to the goal. At that moment, the emotions and passion are just amazing. Both teams were quite impressive, with some good attacking and individual pieces of skills. Uruguay wasted a few chances actually, but I thought Spain was robbed by the ref. There was a clear penalty not given. Instead, a FREEKICk was given even though the foul occured inside the box. The star of the game was definitely Capel from Spain. His moves were just dazzling to watch, and his goal just capped off a great game. He definitely has some attitude problems though. He didn't watch the previous match or go back to the tunnel after the game with his teammates. AND he walked right past a 5yr-old Spanish fan who was frantically crying and screaming for an autograph. Adrian Lopez (who scored the opener for Spain) was a LOVELY person though.....had a smile for everyone (even fans of Uruguay) and happily obliged to any demands for autographs. I was sooooooo happy for him when he scored that opener.

I thought the Zambia vs. Jordan game was sorta sad. Zambia's finishing was just shockingly bad, and mann....what a sucky goal to conceed. The worst thing is that nobody, not the fans or the players, seemed to care about the game. Most ppl were just there for Spain vs. Uruguay. The place was quiet except for an occasional "oohh....." when Zambia shoots wide or something.

Edit: Somebody I know said Capel was nice to her, so maybe he was just being emo or deaf when he ignored that little kid.
