The Big Game

Not the one in the evening, but the one at Huish Park that ended 0-0 in freezing conditions on an icy pitch that made entertaining football even less likely than it already was between two teams near the bottom of the table. 

We’d left our Birmingham hotel at 10.45, having breakfasted without Vietnam friends again, got home at 1.45 and Chris & I were standing on the home terrace by 2.30. WishI could say the game made the effort worth it!

As for the England game, it was always going to be decided on one or two key incidents and sadly they didn’t go our way, but I thought we gave a very good account of ourselves against probably the best team in the competition. We’re probably the second best so it’s a shame we had to meet at this stage of the competition.
