Chiclayo
– Last
year, the continent-wide soccer tournament, the Copa America, was hosted
by Peru. For a month, the entire country was engulfed by soccer fever
with fans besieging hotels, lines at stadiums and hundreds of street merchants
trying to make a quick buck. Although Brazil eventually took the cup,
by far, the most energetic fans on hand in Chiclayo were, by far, the
Mexicans. They were loud, proud and having a good time. Their sections
of the stadium featured an abundance of war drums, face paint and giant
tri-color flags. |
