Tonight I am off to Cayo (again!) to watch an international friendly between then Belize u17 national team and the El Salvador ‘grown up’ national team. I know I have loads of work to do but I have spent the last few hours debating who to cheer for seeing as I am neither Belizean or Salvadoran. This is how far I have got…
Personal Connection
The main reason I am going to watch the game is because I know the Technical Director of the Belizean team and I thought it would be nice to support ‘his boys’. So on the personal connection front it is Belize 1 Salvador 0
Female Perspective
I know real football fans do not like to hear this but sometimes as a woman I pick my team according to how attractive the players are. In this round the Belizean team are non-starters, not because of how they look but they are under 17 so Salvador wins hands down. So far it is a draw: Belize 1 Salvador 1
Tie Breaker: Always Bet on Black
This may not be a PC thing to say but I know many of ‘we black folk’ do this; anytime we see a black person in a competitive setting that is usually white dominated we tend to support the black person. Be it on ‘Blind date’, ‘Big Brother’, ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’ or the Eurovision Song Contest!
Belize has an amazing racial make-up but the majority are black so in this round Belize wins: Belize 2 Salvador 0
I shall be back to comment on the game….Have a good weekend.

erm, I think you mean 2-1 but since I’m not too sure about the ‘Female Perspective’ 2-0 is probably more like it. However, might I suggest that you decide who to support based on the side that you are sitting in as bad things tend to happen if you are supporting the wrong side in such situations

As for football and all other competitive games, no comment. Like I always say, what is the fun in watching adults chasing a ball around. Granted, if I am forced to do it, I will look at the cute fellows.
I just wanted to say that I am NOT a spoil sport. I am the practical one in the family as you well know.
