Bit late with the match report but its been a busy week. La Paz won ther first ever league match 3-2, a deserved win, they took the lead twice, were pegged back twice, but got the winner about 10 minutes from time..they played some neat stuff, the opposition, from Mexico City, were a bit hoofball, didnt create much but fair play, they did equalise twice. Atmosphere was great! When I bought the ticket I asked which section would be the best, it was a good call, full of young lads, a good few auld mannies, as well as a few families getting right into it, just as it should be. Anybody familiar with Latin American football should know about the "ayyyyyyyyyy putoooooooo" chant whenever the oppostition goalie restarts play, well here was no different, I know its controversial, but you know, the way the locals all fall about themselves laughing every single time they do it...I mean its basically the same joke for the zillionth time...but its pretty infectious, tbh, hilarious really. The other main chant is totally new, and I'm pretty sure must be unique in world soccer...."Vamoooos Labooos, Uuurk Uuurk Uuurk" (insert best sea lion impersonation as loud as you can..
instant classic...ground holds 5k, I reckon was just under half full, hopefuly if they keep winning more will come. Mind you, a 3-2 home win opening day getting everyone excited can quickly turn the other way, right? Today, La Paz are away to Club de Ciervos (Deer Club FC) from Mexico State, 4pm ko....
