Description/Reflection
Black and blue scarves flaunted proudly , pouring rain in an open air stadium , and absolutely no correlation between the seat number on your ticket and the chair you stand on: this is professional Italian soccer . After talking to the locals about their excitement for the game and loyalty to their team , we were warned , “just cheer what we cheer , and you should be okay.” The three men in front were in the fan section hours before the game began , flags ready , discussing game strategy . While they stare into the field in the photo , minutes before line-up is given they would spread across the fan section with their backs to the field , standing on the guardrail , leading shouts of praise to their beloved “Inter!” . Throughout the ups and downs of the game , these men didn’t leave their post , and after Inter came from behind to win , these men were surely the last to leave .
