Simple enough question, there is never a gray area. One of the few things in life that is black and white. Yes, no, or neither (the last response very rare and usually reserved for those completely not interested in football, or don't want to fight). Unfortunately, in the second of what I believe will be 5 matches against each other, Barca lost 1-0, heartbreaking, in overtime. I was in a new cafe on Biranzarane, and liked it.
The place was split in half regarding allegiances and they (mostly boys and men) brought their own flags! It was almost like there were two bodies, and at each missed goal, great pass, corner, breakaway, there was a collective ahhhh that would erupt, or a collective sigh of relief that would escape depending on the team. When Real scored, you didn't hear any individual screams or sounds, but a loud single roar, not just from our cafe but from across the street, across town, across the country.
The only other thing that can emotes such a roar...a Wydad and Raja game (although I would have hoped the promise of constitutional change would do the same thing, I think that time has yet to come).
There is always retour and I can only hope this time I take part in the collective roar and not the collective sulking out the cafe towards your car.
