The Toronto Star - Kelly: Soaring emotions in South Africa washed away by loss

This is in reference to the article posted in the Toronto Star on June 16, 2010 by Cathal Kelly.

In this article Mr. Kelly starts off by calling the shot on goal by Diego Forlan "speculative". He goes on to mock a Uruguayan  media member by saying he knocked over his beer while hopping up and down after the goal screaming "Golasssooo!, to which he added "Well it wasn't. But this isn't a science."

He went on to make a comment about the Uruguayan going back to the beer tent at halftime.

Now, several things come to mind. First off, why mention this? Does it really have any revelance to the story. Secondly, why make it look like the gentleman was a drunk and lastly, he most surely wasn't the only one to have a beer. I highly doubt that the Uruguayan media brought there own beer tent, so why mention it. Why mention any of it. It has no relevance to the story, the game or anything else.
