Went to a Boca Juniors game yesterday. Absolutely crazy atmos. We were in terraced section with the proper ´hinchas´. We figured that some top boy must have been taking a cut of our fee for this group of tourists to be let in. Our guide had to ´clear it´ with somone before we ushered through the crowd to our spot. There was no way we should have been there really.
Loads of noise and jumping up and down. The floor was shaking. People climbing up the fences. Riot police. Bottles of piss being thrown at police and at players at the end when they were celebrating. A shower of spit from away fans above us (thankfully we were under the roof). Huge drum section opposite under the flags. loads and loads of banners. Alot of love for maradona (who was up in the corporate stand). There was a fella with massive tattoo of him on his back.
We were trying to work out what songs were being sung, but didnt get far. One was boca we love you, blah blah blah, and another was saying that Lanus is full of bitches. Much the same as at home really.... There were some cool ones to ´cumbia´ beats from the drum section.
It was last game of season and Boca had to win in order that Lanus didnt win the championship at the Bombonera. It was a draw in the end, so Boca werent too impressed.
The standard of footy was pretty good, from Lanus at least. Boca seemed to just stand still waiting for whover had the ball to do something special. Lanus had alot more movement and invention. Pretty aggressive too. Loads of niggly fouls and a Boca player got straight red in 2nd half for horrific scithing down of Lanus´ best player, Sand.
