It was reported on the BBC so it might be that Dan has seen a snippet rather than watch the whole game

Do you do anything other than watch football from all over the globe?

Do you have a job? If so how do you have time to work?

Are you married or girlfriend perhaps? What does she do while you watch football?

Yes, yes, yes, yes & she's moving over from Wales on the 13th Feb after living on my own for 7 years.... so i'm bolloxed after that

Anybody see Bocas vs River Plate game. Absolutely ridiculous stuff 5 players sent off, brawls left right and centre. Madness

It was a friendly although for those two there is no such thing! I read about it and watched the highlights.

A buddy of mine was back packing in south america a number of years ago and attended this derby game. He said it was insane before, during and after the game.

I watched a few of them in the past, absolutely incredible atmosphere but so cynical and stop start. I'd imagine playing in any other stadium after that would be a let down.
