Squarefootball, Ireland
Sometime in the next few years, when I’ve made my fortune from writing for http://www.squarefootball.net, it’s my intention to move to Queretaro, a distinctly middle class city in Mexico (there was recently a very positive article in Newsweek, no less), which just happens to be where my wife was born. There are many plus points about the city – cheap property prices, good weather, secure (certainly by Mexican standards) and the local club side, Queretaro “Gallos Blancos� (White Roosters), playing in the Primera Liga…or at least they were.
Last season was Queretaro’s first back in the top-flight after a lengthy absence and they performed well enough to finish in the top half of the table at the end of Clausura 2004. Back in April, I went to a game at La Corregidora, where they drew 4:4 with Monterrey on a record-breaking day when Mexico went goal crazy (50 goals in 10 games). They were certainly a little naïve defensively, but they showed enough spirit for me to think that I could enjoy many visits from the elite of Mexican football in my dotage.
