Last night Dad and I went to see Argentina and Brazil play in what was advertised as the South American Showdown here at Khalifa Stadium. I am not a football fan but an opportunity to see some of the world's best sportsmen play in the world's most popular game seemed worthwhile. 6 minutes into the game I started to question this and after 90 minutes of play - the score was still zero for both teams! Even with a final goal to Argentina in the last minute it was still a little dull. As always I enjoyed watching the international crowd though - in particular, although there were very few local women spectators, one passionate woman stood out in her hijab and niqab with the Argentinian flag attached and it was also fun to see a few of the men have switched to their winter thobes which come in various neutral shades.
