I slowly found out that this was not a good idea when everyone started blowing smoke to my face and a kid behind me, half my age, kicked my ankle....stupid. They were all yelling, "Stupid America" after we scored making it 1-0 in the second half, so of course I yelled back being the aggressive person that I am.
