A few beers later, whilst watching England stumble to an inevitable defeat at the hands of Brazil, a cavalcade of police cars arrived outside accompanying a large coach and shortly thereafter a large posse of obviously athletic chaps appeared from the depths of the hotel. This was, apparently, the Mongolian national squad who had lost 0-1 to Azerbaijan last night. Clearly very athletic, the whole lot of them could probably fit in a Max 8 people lift, they were diminutive.

As the inevitable came to pass and Brazil scored the one and only goal of the match, it was time to order some beer food to help soak up the Xirdalan.

I decided to go with the beef and potato burrito, with no avocado. Who on earth thought putting avacado into a tortilla filled with chips and beef was a good idea?Surely they knew that avocado is only for mashing and ruining a perfectly good slice of toast?

The burrito was the perfect beer food, tangy perfectly cooked beef, crispy french fries, plenty of jalapeņos , and a tangy salsa dip. Superb!
