Madness At Mandela Stadium!

This past Saturday, my father-in-law (dad), and Janae (one of Amber's little sisters) had an incredible experience: We went to a 2014 World Cup qualifier match at Mandela Stadium and watch the Uganda Cranes battle against the Senegal Lions! Some of my IJM colleagues joined us and we had an unforgettable time as it would be quite hard to forget an atmosphere as loud and electric as the below videos portray.

Jump Mzungu, jump!

*This is the penalty kick from dad's view*
This was the video taken by dad (my father-in-law), Mark. Feel free to laugh as much as I do each time I watch this video.


*This is the same penalty kick, but from my view*
I get a kick (pun, pun) out of this video each time I watch it.




One ticket was 25,000 UGX, which is a little less than $10 USD. Wow, a professional sports event where the seating is first come, first served and tickets are $10 - can't beat that!

At first I thought this was the team and I came to watch radical rugby.


Final score! A draw is always better than a loss.
