This is quite fun - an American goes to his first football match, and it's to my beloved Birmingham City...
Shame he didn't have a balti pie and a bovril, to make the day complete.

"An emphasis was placed on drivers with road racing backgrounds which meant drivers from open wheel, oval track racing were at a disadvantage. That led Tony George to create the IRL." -Indy Review 1996
I've never been to a match in Europe, but last year I went to Chicago and saw Celtic FC play the MLS team up there. I think every Scot living in America was that game (well all the ones that aren't Rangers fans). I had a similar experience as the writer. This was a good find.
Still looking for Carmen San Diego....
Saw Celtic vs DC in an international friendly a few years back, more Bhoys fans showing Irish allegiance than Scots (not surprisingly).
I'd love to visit Paradise for an Old Firm match someday.
C'mon the Hoops!

I took some pics for a friend of the "matchday" experience, remind me to upload them at some point...
