Sunny
yet cool
Happy Birthday to me! Sixty two and still cycling and birding. The Ancient
Biking Birder.
I
set off for Urubamba and in no time really I am there and have found
a hostel costing twenty Soles for the night. I rush around the corner
and find a cafe that has a large flatscreen TV at one end of the
room. England are playing Tunisia in the World Cup and a meal, a
coffee and an England match in the company of one Peruvian is a
pleasant way to spend the day.
By
half time England have had all the play but only have one goal to
show for it and shockingly Tunisia have one too! Ours a close in tap
in by Harry Kane after the goalkeeper spills a strong header at his
feet. There's is a penalty given half way through the first half.
Unlike the poor Peruvian player the other day, the Tunisian striker
doesn't miss.
The
match continues in the same vein with England having the most
possession, the most chances and with a will to win. Tunisia are
holding on.
Corner
in injury time. Ball comes over . . . . . . .
GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
!!!!!!!!!!
Why
do Peruvian football commentators have to extend the word goal for as
long as their breath holds out? Irritating as hell, I wish they would
stop it.
England's
goal scorer? Oh, Harry Kane. Header at the far post. Two one to
England and no more than they deserve.
I
find an internet place and spend an hour or so responding to the many
Happy Birthday messages on Facebook.
