Argentinian football

[soggy biscuit]

Crazy scenes in Argentina as Velez beat Hurican to be named champions.

Game delayed by comically big hailstones to start with. Velez awarded penalty, saved (fighting ensued) Hurican were just then just 7 minutes away from being champions when Velez scored a ridiculous goal with one player taking out the keeper while the other put it in the net (fighting ensued), the goalscorer took his shirt off in celebration and was subsequently sent off (fighting ensued). As the game went on it got dirtier and dirtier untl more fighting ensued and one player ended up with blood running down his face.

Final whistle goals and players climb on top of the goalposts for a good sing song (and probably a punch up somewhere)

Those crazy Argies.

Winning goal

How bizarre temperamental!

Funniest thing about that is the scuffling that ensues after the one-on-one, it left me wondering why Huracan players were having a go like that and why the ref blew for full time after only 60 minutes of the game. I then realised that actually, the clock was indicating that there had been a mere 15 minutes of time added on

Excellent! Madder than a box of frogs. If the Huracan keeper was not so busy faking an injury, he might have prevented the winner.
