In Lima in the great favela of Villa El Salvador there is a football field without lines and boundaries, but even the doors do not have nets, here the referee may not even be there.

Hi @Gio51x
Thank you for this photo. I have personally never visited Lima, but I know is a Country where football is lived with a lot of passion and enthusiasm.
Please tell us more about this picture. On which occasion did you take it?

Every day I also spend some time exploring the world with Street View directly from home with my computer and mouse, I have a file that contains thousands and thousands of places all partly explored and partly unexplored or deepened, including Lima, I’m not keen on football, but the sports facilities are included in the themes I’m going to “capture”, when I arrived in Lima with SV’s pegman I found an incredibly unimaginable scenario: the city is a gigantic favela divided into many sectors, it seems that recently the administration has begun real urbanization works by redesigning the avenues and supplying drinking water, but there are still many disadvantaged areas.
The roads are 98% in sand, which makes me think of the mixture of mud that is created with rain, very few are asphalted, many residential sectors are blocked and watched by locals, but SV has photographed 100% of the city.
The houses are mostly dilapidated or patched up with dangerously improvised construction sites, very little public green, the cemetery that sooner or later I will share ', is gigantic and without walls, but surrounded by degradation of waste and stray animals, but on the other hand the graves are colored …
Instead I found the soccer field coming out at random from a road and I noticed the goals without goals, I thought of a ball to go always to recover and two teams without an umpire.
