An 8 for Santiago Gimenez
After his 0-1, Giménez ran to the box in which he had seen a Mexican flag hanging. It was an Ajax section and the flag was a tribute to Álvarez. Helped by the cups of beer that came towards him, the Feyenoord striker realized his mistake; he immediately turned left towards the field. On my TV screen I saw the beer flying and I felt disappointment. Why do they also throw beer in the Arena? The extreme right has not had a chance in Amsterdam, has it? Or is Throwing Overhand Cups of Beer not a political right statement? We don’t call the Groningen amoeba who slapped Jetro Willems right-wing, but criminal. Fortunately, the man was so ugly that they identified and arrested him a few hours later. ‘Lowly educated’ should not be a title, but there are not many that are extremely stupid even in prison.
