Oh yes its the one you've been waiting for, talk sport with JH. Some of you may know that the amount I know about football can indeed be written several times on the top of a pin. Who else would choose to support Newcastle?? (sorry if you're a real Newcastle fan).
So match day at the stadium, (no don't know the name) in down town Huaraz on Sunday 10th August saw the clash between the local team Sport Ancash and Sport Boyz who had traveled from Callao, Lima.
Unfortunately I have no souvenir ticket of this glamor tie as I was only in possession of it for about 5 minuets. For a mere 10 Soles (about 2 UK pounds) I purchased the ticket from one gate then walked to the next gate only to be told I couldn't take in my freshly bought bottle of water, (think its something to do with not having any missiles that can be hurled at the players) so had to down that there and then, went through the gate, handed over my ticket only for it to be ripped in half and chucked into a bin
Face in the crowd
! I don't why they went to the bother of printing the date and the team names on the ticket and have a perforated end that can be torn off, for it to be unceremoniously dumped in a bin. The match itself was quite entertaining to watch, the main tactic seemed to be a lot of falling over.. a player who has possession of the ball must immediately and dramatically fall over if one of the opposition comes within 3 feet of him. The dramatic fall must of course be followed up by writhing around in agony as if someone has chopped your leg off, continue to roll and writhe until the stretcher arrives, get stretchered off then come back on 2 minuets later as though nothing has happened, oh and get a free kick out of it all which invariably leads to nothing. If I had any footballing knowledge, this is the point where Id now compare this tactic to one of the great teams in our premier league and be really funny, however I don't so Ill let you draw your own conclusions there.. Although Drogbar, when hes having one of his stupid days does spring to mind.. (Sorry bro..)
Photos attached for your viewing pleasure, there are only photos up to half time as in the second half Ancash were all over the Boyz and they never made it in to the other half.
So there we have it, the lines are open for your comments and discussions of the days sporting activities, where you can bore off and ramble on about how great you team is and all the others are rubbish and have bad management....
That was talk sport with JH...
