My First English Footy Match

So I am not into sports at all, and definitely not football.  But I figured since I am in England and am passionate about the country, as may as well give them some support on their matches.  So my friend from work Giulia and I decided to go watch the England vs USA game.  We met up in Leicester Square and walked around to a few pubs to see who was showing it and eventually ended up at Leicester Square O’Neills.  There was a great crowd and they had set up a big screen for us to watch on.  Giulia and I managed to get a spot to sit right at the front and once we had our ciders and my England flag which I had brought along, we were all set for the game.

The team spirit in the place was amazing and everyone was singing war cries which I had to learn pretty quickly!!  Quite early into the game, England scored their first goal and the crowd went nuts!!  Was such a great feeling to be a part of that.  Not quite as much as when USA scored!!

Afterwards, Giulia and I were pretty hungry so we headed off to KFC and for some reason we still haven’t figured out, we decided to order a Family Bucket, thinking that we could finish it all!!  Needless to see we didn’t even get through half of the food! 

It was a great night out and really amazing to be part of the English team spirit!!
