Most of my friends already know this, but I'm not what you'd call a "sports guy". Now don't get me wrong, I do enjoy sports, but when I make time for sports, I tend to focus on playing them versus watching. However, my general lack of enthusiasm for sports didn't stop me from attending what the Observer stated in 2004 as number 1 on the top 50 sporting things you must do before you die list.
I was a bit worried about my safety after reading about some others' experiences, but they must have been even bigger cowardly nerds than me. Although the crowds were very enthusiastic, there wasn't even a hint of violence (maybe things would have been different if I was wearing red and yelling "Mi Vida es River!").
For your viewing pleasure I posted a few pictures of the match and even put together some video...
