Slovak Football

I really enjoy watching soccer (“football” in Europe), and I wish the sport were more popular in the United States! Bummer. Anyways, I had a nice time last week at the football game in Hybe: Hybe v.s. Vavrisovo (a nearby village). (The league is community, and for any men over the age of 18.) Unfortunately, Hybe lost 4-1, and everyone joked about how bad the team was. I even heard “please God, help them because they’re terrible” a few times. I didn’t think they were that bad, and it was entertaining to watch, and fun to be at an event where I could root for a Hybe team! Also, the football field is at the opposite side of the village, and I’d never been over there until last weekend. It’s a nice, elevated area, with a good view of the village and Krivan Mountain. Here are some photos I took at the game. Hybe players are in red, Vavrisovo players in blue.
