Real Madrid vs Hong Kong

Real Madrid, possibly the best football team in the world at the moment, played Hong Kong in the Hong Kong Stadium tonight (well, Friday night, really). Hong Kong lost 2 goals to 4. That's quite an achievement as they're only a club side, not a major international football team like Real Madrid. I think that Hong Kong are the only team on Real Madrid's current Asian tour to score against them. You should have heard the cheers in Carnegies as that first goal went in. Lots of people obviously either considered themselves Hong Kongers, or wanted to cheer for the underdogs. Mind you, Real Madrid have made a very good effort to alienate their fans here by not turning up to training sessions, or turning up late, or allegedly having been paid HKD 36 Million, which is 50% more that that paid by any other country.
