A friendly...
... became a pitch. That's right. Notre Dame's football field was reconfigured into a soccer pitch as campus hosted Chelsea FC and Celtic FC for a friendly (competitive but friendly game). The crowd was clearly for the Blues from London as it was awash in blue, but there was a considerable presence for the Scottish club too, donning their green and white stripes. Even though it was a friendly, each side wanted a win, and the game was no sleeper. Packed by shots, surprises, and of course, goals, fans were entertained throughout, and if you were a Celtic fan, then you left with a smile as Celtic won 4 to 1. On the game, Fr. Ralph said, "Even though there had to be a loser, I hope everyone is friendly after this friendly."
