AND FINALLY

Deigo Maradona’s World Cup flops weren’t the only Argentinian football disaster this month. Two inmates, serving sentences for armed robbery, were able to escape from a ‘high security’ Argenentian jail this week by calmly scaling the fence and climbing the exterior wall - before cooly strolling off into the sunset. It seems the jail was so cash-strapped it only had two men to cover the watchtowers and had been manning the watchtowers with scarecrow guards - complete with footballs for heads and prison officers’ caps.

Like the national team, the jubilani jailers proved completely useless when the chance finally came to make a name for themselves. The escapees are no doub’t claiming the ‘hand of God’ aided their clean getaway...
