I'm addicted, at least once weekly, to a football (soccer) match and a few beers













Sakon FC was out of town: Loi is a lengthy five hour drive from Sakon City.  Not a trip I was enticed to take, since 
the chances for Sakon FC were "A snowball in Hell." (5-2)

There's been a local series of football games lasting throughout the day into the night.  Not sure, but it seems to be a Sakon province competition.  One local team was scheduled to start on the field at 9pm. Jawn 

The day had started off with extreme high humidity (due to the saturday rains).
By the time I reached Metro field (next to the police station), the evening temperature was pleasant.  I stayed long enough to finish two beers, about an hour.   
I suppose you could say they were street games.  A few times a ball would stray across the street, with near motorcycle encounters (4x while i was attending).  No damage, the beer kept my heart rate calm.  No markings on the field, sideline referees only, two twenty minute halves per game.
