Shame about the crowd control after the game.
Post game drinks were lots of fun, walking into 'The Elephant & Castle' was like walking into a British pub, about 99% of the patrons were English. It was nice to meet everyone, me and Kristy had a really good time.
Here's some of the fans.
Here's photo 1 of the post game drinks, and here's photo 2. Sarah manages to hide in both!

Right, plus its on ESPN live for free
as its only a friendly, not worth the airfare from Orlando and hotel etc.
plus, it wasnt even the full side, lots of newbies....

I couldn't go as I was looking after our daughter by myself and she's too young to have taken to the game. Lovely to see some very English faces, though. KWIM? Sometimes you can tell someone's from the UK just by looking at them.

Bloody footie! OK so not every Brit is a footie fan, I certainly aint. Not now anyway! I was going to Chicago that weekend to go to a bit of a swinging party with my hubby to be. Silly me I tried to fly standby on the friday, Heathrow appeared to be full of footie fans. Oh joy. Had to go via Washington Dulles instead and got into Chicago 9 hours later than expected. Thats a lot of time with my man when you are only there for the weekend!
