In the hostal in Iguazu, met a french girl called Karima who was the best table football player I have had the pleasure to meet. I played her the first night I was there, and got completely trashed. However, I became quite competitive and played many times over the next couple of days. I still didn't manage to beat her, but I did win a caipirinha by scoring 5 goals against her. I also suffered my first table football injury, by pushing my right thumb into the side of the table I managed to get it to bleed under the corner of the nail. Luckily my friends Sarah and Nadia were on hand to offer medical assistance, after a bit of persuasion they got me some antiseptic and put a plaster on me. The game continued after the injury, but I was robbed of the victory.
Ruben, the DJ and barman at the hostal, was also a keen player, and beat me on my second night. We had a rematch just before I left, "first goal wins" as he couldn't take much time off work. He served and I slammed it into the back of the net with the first touch, his players didn't even get to touch the ball. Sweet!
