My entry on the soccer match that i caught on Wednesday night.

One word...Brilliant!


Being a non soccer fan, ( i normally scream at my brother for watching EPL on tv), my initial idea was to go and experience the whole thing, u get the drift? i mean UK is so famous for their english soccer, catching a soccer match is a must-do activity if u stay long enough in UK.


But it turned out to be VERY VERY exciting!!






People walking out from the Fulham Broadway tube station. The turnout was scary, they closed the main exit of the tube and only allow the exit towards the stadium








More and more people. And also a lot of policeman





See! The stadium! Yut and i exclaimed when we went into the stadium ' It is fucking good, man!'


The stadium has the amazing power of transforming anyone into a soccer fan, including me at least for the 90 mins.





Look at how excited am i! Electrifying atmosphere!






The crazy Chelsea fans sitting on this side of the stadium






The players, seeing them in flesh and alive





Frank Lampard in person!! Though i am not a fan of him, but i still want to snap some pictures of him, i mean he is worth like few million pounds and i was like 100 m away from him






A view of the people from my seat





Someone got injuried, lying on the ground








And this time, a Chelsea player was stretched off





Empty stadium after the end of game


I really enjoyed the game very much, despite i am not a soccer fan. The whole 90 mins was pure excitement, Chelsea leading in the 1st half but let Leicester be in 1 goal ahead till the last 10 mins where Chelsea scored 3 more to win the match.

I tell you, the match plus the experience plus the environment is worth every single cent of the 75 sgd that i paid.

Have to thank King Yaw for jio-ing me to watch the match. The lesson of the day: Even if you are not a fan, you can enjoy it as well
