Adios Bombay!

Last few days—Auto, fiat taxi, smelly cool cab, packed local train, double-decker BEST bus, bumpy monorail, shiny metro & snail-paced ferry.

@hallidude But that said, Oscar played brilliantly throughout. Kept penetrating the defence. Well deserved goal.

@hallidude Can’t deny that. But I guess the referee would come under a lot more criticism had won 2-1.

@karlffernandes Well Robben is exceptional. You’d have to be a fool to not have a couple of players marking him all the time.
