Apart from getting soaked to the skin, having to wade through a foot of water, nearly getting my head kicked in, the match being abandoned after nine minutes due to flooding and then being locked in the stadium for an hour with a bunch of headcases, the football was brilliant. It was the first time the Superclasico in Buenos Aires, one of the most passionate derbies in world football, has been cancelled. The Sun newspaper, which is surely an expert in the more unedifying aspects of the male psyche, rates Boca Jrs fans as the most nuts. Having stood alongside them, I wouldn’t argue with that (nor with them). Makes the north London derby look as ferocious as a village cricket match in Midsomer.
THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE TODAY:
Argentinian football grounds would not have survived
the Taylor ReportDuring the match, there are people employed to clear the pitch of debris thrown by the fans
Boca hooligans align themselves loosely with the Falklands cause and therefore don’t like the English
