Goals, Controversy & Another Win

(WNS) CD Almuñécar City ran out 4-1 winners tonight in the semi-final of the Costa Tropical Cup in La Herradura (CD Almuñécar City are playing their home games in La Herradura until the surface has been sorted in Almuñécar) against Los Molinos.

CD Almuñecar City Win 10-3!

Tropical Weather & Football Thougths

July in the Nordic countries has been exceptional, with tropical temperatures around 26-30 for almost two weeks now. The hot weather has brought thunder storms in its wake. On golf courses in central Finland, where the thunder storms have been extremely severe, one person died and one was injured after having been struck by lightning. The unfortunate deadly accident occurred when the victim, a pensioner, interrupted the game because of the heavy rain. He was returning to the club house pushing his golf trolley, when a lightning bolt struck the trolley and he fell lifeless to the ground. There were no thunder storm clouds visible. The lightning seemed to strike from an ordinary cumulus cloud. Death was immediate, and attempts to revive him proved hopeless.

FC Barcelona turned up at lowly Granada CF! yesterday evening, surely expecting a routine win. With the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Fabregas, it was surely a forgone conclusion that they would leave Granada with yet another win under their belts.

Football Euphoria

Last week, during my and Nils Öhrvall’s art exhibition at Casa de la Cultura in Almuñécar, a member of the culture house staff asked me from where I was. When he heard that I was from Finland, he said “Oh that’s the country playing against Spain in Gijon on March 22 in the World Cup qualifiers. Finland is not a big football country. I bet the game will end 6-0 for Spain”.
