Beijing Guo An v. Qing Dao Zhong Neng
Some of us checked out a football match. We (Beijing) were playing Qing Dao, which is a city famous for its beer, “Tsing Tao” (Qing Dao = Tsing Tao). It was actually my first time to a soccer match, and given the fact that I had no stake in either team, I found myself eventually showing a lot of Beijing pride (it helped that we won). I also learned a lot about Chinese soccer fans. Throughout the game they would yell these chants, which is normal in any sporting match, in any country. But sometimes they would direct the chants at the tiny section reserved for the opposing team. Talk about intimidation. Imagine tens of thousands of angry fans yelling in your direction at once. Anyway, in America, the harshest insult I could imagine in an organized chant would be “Something/someone sucks!” Well, that doesn’t even hold a candle to what the Beijingers yell. It’s so bad that I wouldn’t be able to tell you what it is lest even write it down. It was AMAZING! I couldn’t believe that thousands of people were yelling it in unison. It definitely qualified for virgin ears to put on earmuffs.
Go Green!
These guys just sat there the whole game. They were so still…
Guards near the opposing team’s fans. Once the game was done, they all took off their orange shirts, which were their team colors so that they wouldn’t get killed in the parking lot. WEAK. They call themselves fans?
Whenever a player of the opposing team got injured, they would yell “Bury him on the field!” Brutal.
Cars driving out from the sidewalk back into the regular street. I would LOVE to drive here. Notice they’re doing this in front of a cop too.
