I had a great time, despite the weather. Let's keep it up and get some more games at 'our house'.

Thanks to Sachin and everyone else who do this every time!

Cheers

My voice won't recover for at least a week - but it was well worth it! So long sallies!

Any trouble? Where were the hordes of savage El Salvadorans? Almost all the banners I saw on the railings were American.

Their wasn't much in the way of trouble at the game. We had a bottle thrown into our section - but security quickly seized the perpatrator. The La Norte section was loud and raucious! We entered the stadium together and sang loudly all through the entrance and concourse before the game. Attendence was probably 65% to 35% El Salvadorian but it was hard to tell as most non-fanatical fans didn't have red. Despite the weather - it was a fantastic day!

The rain melted all of them. The crowed was pretty well behaved.

Thanks everyone. All the Nortenos deserve your thanks. Everyone really pulled together to make it happen. Especially Uncle Will and his 20 bags of confetti.

Of course Stone referred to you guys as Sam's Army. I guess that is the generic phrase for organized US supporters now. Even if it is a privately owned trademark and club.

That's why SA won't say anything about it.

I think that everyone in section 120 showed some tremendous spirit despite the weather! What a great time!

As an area for improvement, we really need to increase our numbers for the future!

Also - congrats to whoever found the "key"!
