No trip to Argentina would be complete without Futbol. They are Futbol mad, no surprise given they have produced Maradona and Messi. Every sports shop has a #10 shirt for sale. As I have learnt Messi plays as #10. How could I have not known that! Shock, horror.
Last night we organised a friendly competition between our 4 NGOs. Ensena, Puerta18, Social Lab and Junior Achievement. Our teams were made up of SAP and clients. 5 a side and no pushing were the basic rules but otherwise its a free for all. We fielded a good team from Ensena and whilst I cant claim to have been much use on the field the guys were great. It was a lot of fun and laughter and a really effective way of spending some social time with our NGOs.
Also, as it typical in Argentina, everything happens late, so our game didnt start till 9pm, dinner at 11pm, bed at 2am!!! But it was a great night.
