Spent the day out in the western suburbs of Cairo supporting J and the young football teams of NCBIS. J went on the team coach, I went on a magical mystery tour of half-built building sites with Ahmed Da Driver using the poor map we printed off the internet of the British international School. Our cause was not helped by several street and places being mis-labelled as well as north not being up the page. Typically egyptian and very frustrating. Got to Sheikh Zayed City to see the last group match against Alexandria (win 4-1), then the the team went on winning through to the final with a last gasp winner in the semi-finals scored by Mohammed who bears a striking resemblance to Micky Quinn, maybe not the most mobile but he would run over his grandmother to be first to a ball in the box. T turned up for the final a close fought game win a last minute goal against. The journey back was far less fraught with detours. Still nice to see another part of the city of Cairo.....
Orange boots, eh Joe? Nearly as bad a choice of colour as your cousin David - he got white ones for Christmas!! Hope you enjoyed the games, perhaps we'll be able to watch you play when we visit. Good action shot of corner kick, Dad! PS - Scarey animals in your last post - look like something out of a horror film! xxx
