The Boys In Brasil
Will has sent in some tour results:
A joint Cowboys-Autonomos team lost 4-8 to Los Hermanos De Pele under dimly-lit floodlights on Monday.
On the Copa
Copacabana
The hottest spot south of Havana
Football and passion were always the fashion
On the Copa
The Cowboys won
(4-1 against the Rio Punx in a beach football match)
Punky’s report goes something like this:
well easton cowboys/girls made the pilgrimage to the maracana to see brasiliann cup quarter finals 2nd leg – fluminese v corinthians – we were in the away end in crowd of approx 65000. awesome atmosphere and great result for corinthians although ronaldo was shit.
preceding this was 2 great victories for cowboys on the copacabana – firstly beating rio punx 4-1 , and then beating a corinthians supporters group , i cannot recollect score but shall update you .
contact has been made with another team for future trips , red machine i believe. everyone played well – jock described as a warrior! more friendships made and all round top trip to rio ( and we survived the journey there and back with the driver who had some odd driving techniques to say the least)
day off today then on saturday there is a game against los fanaticos.
see you all soon next week when i shall bore and regale you with many tales.
Check out the message board for more banter.
red machine? those grumpy, cheating old bastards?you sure you mean them? they were the only team i wouldnt like to meet again on any other basis than playing them and beating them by more than 1:0 …(although their own goal was satisfying to see)
