Saturday afternoon saw us off to Wembley to watch England v Israel. Although I have been to live football matches before, I have never been to an international. Ollie however is an old pro, having even travelled to Portugal to see the Euros in 2004.I remembered my flag! Ollie forgot his scarf and didn't want to be seen with a flag (as they get in the way!)
The tube was packed and we were squished up against the most drunk, loud, northern supporters. I was so scared! There were so many people there it was amazing and the atmosphere was incredible inside the ground which had been missing when we went to see Muse in June.
We got to our seats and - yes they were in the upper tier in the very back row! So our view would have been enhanced by some binoculars! But it was still very good and our view for Owen's goal was even better than the camera angles that they showed on TV. The boys did good and we finally fought our way to Wembley station afterwards in the millions of people!
Dinner was at Garunkels at Victoria station and we got home very hoarse and tired!
For the benefit of those watching on TV all these people had to hold coloured hankies over their heads during the national anthem!
