Henrik Larsson!!!!
Yes this blog entry's gonna be about football and Henrik Larsson. Before you start going "Henrik who?", here's some information on this Swedish legend (more info at:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrik_Larsson). Firstly, he's one of Sweden's biggest/best players, having played for several years with Celtic and then later on with Barcelona. He also played for Manchester United where he was on loan until quite recently. Man U was going to extend his loan but he turned em down to play for his hometown club. Phew, lucky for us.
Yes we know this isn't the real Henrik :)
Jonas had this great idea of an early birthday treat for Arlin and he went and got us tickets to watch a football match. So yesterday, we went to an Allsvenskan (Swedish Premiere League) match at Helsingborg's Olympia stadium to watch Helsingborg IF play against Örebro SK. And although Arlin's not a huge soccer fan, we were all really excited and we're still excited cause we got to see HENRIK LARSSON live in action!!!
Our entry tickets.
Olympia stadium
The starting line-up.
It was such a great experience! There was cheering all the time, like you see on TV. Haha half the time Arlin forgot there was a match going on cause she was so fascinated by the supporters who were singing their hearts out the whole time.
The home team's supporters
The away team's supporters - all 5 of them!
Henrik Larsson in action!
And more Henrik Larsson (or Henke as he's known here)
Our team has just scored a goal here. The spectators are jubilating and that guy in the corner's dancing
Henrik and team-mates
The boys celebrating after a goal
Boy in front of us throwing streamers to celebrate Helsingborgs victory
And we were the lucky ones who got to watch it all!
And here's a video Arlin took. It's thrilling to watch and hear all the Swedish vikings cheering and singing!
And the best thing was that Helsingborg won 4-1 so we were jumping up and down a whole lot. Henrik Larsson scored a goal and created chances for all the other 3 goals. Arlin, Jonas and I were also dressed in Helsingborg's colours of red and blue. I think from now on I'm going to be a Helsingborg fan! :) Thanks again Jonas for bringing us to the game and Happy Birthday in advance Arlin girl. It was great having you here and watching the game (and the other stuff) with you. :) I still can't believe we were so close to Henrik Larsson and I even heard him shout at one point!
