Soccer...under the rain

It is a well-known fact that November is quite an unpredictable month as far as the weather is concerned. Beautiful warm days alternate with rainy and cold ones.

A heavy thunderstorm came down on Rome on Monday night, the day we had chosen for the second soccer match of the semester between the Pantheon Institute students and the ones from the Roma Tre university.

Despite the rain had started falling during the late afternoon already, the students who had to play the game did not lose heart and, once their classes were over, they took the subway and reached the Battistini soccer field, in the north area of Rome. There, they met the students from the Roma Tre university and the university sport activities coordinator.

The American students and the Italian ones mixed up, formed two teams and gave life to a very exciting match characterized by a high number of goals. As a matter of fact, the game ended 11-8!

Sometimes, it looked like we were watching an ice-skating show rather than a soccer match: the quantity of water that came down during the game was just incredible but both the Italian and the American students enjoyed playing so much that we are already scheduling another game in the next few days!
