The not so beautiful game!
So here I am. At the stadium of the infamous - well, maybe I should say infamous as in not-famous-to-me - Cape Town Stormers. They're playing the Free State Cheetahs. Actually the scoreboard says 'DHL Stormers and Toyota Cheetahs'. It kind of takes branding to a whole new level...
Jones managed to get us a couple of tickets for what is apparently a BIG game! So here I am in the company box sipping a cold glass of wine, munching on biltong while Jones keeps reminding me that this poor display of ball handling will never compare to the 'beautiful game'.
I have to confess I quietly concur - there's no football chanting, no foot stamping, no bald, toothless men swearing at the ref, no hugging random strangers when a goal is scored. It's all a bit...umm...polite and civilised.
I can't help but wonder if Arsenal have scored in their game against Sunderland...
Ho hum! The wine is cold and free, so cheers!
