What a great game! We tied the Englanders (I guess it's not Brits, but from now on, I will refer to them as the Brits) and we have a really strong chance of winning our group. If we do, watch out for us! Pictures of the event follow. There's quite a few. I won't comment on all, but I will give some flavor to them.
Here we are waiting for our bus to take us to the game. The guys, not sure who they were but the girl on the left is Molly. She helped me getting the ticket for the game. Thanks Molly!
And here are the England fans. Don't they look happy beforehand?
These guys were from England on our bus. They started drinking (like the rest of the Brits) just as soon as we left.
And this is Amy. Teresa's is turned around so all you see is her hair.
And this is Teresa. Hello!
We're ready to go to the game!
This is the Magaliesburg Mountain range. That's Magaliesburg (prounounced Ma-ha-lee-s-burg).
Sunset on the African plains.
I told you the Brits started drinking after we left. We had to take a bathroom break for them. So all the Brits went to piss on the other side of a hill. All the American fans stayed on and took pictures.
Lots of Brits. Go USA!!!
Leading up to the stadium.
And here's the inside of the stadium.
Some of the many fans that were at the game. This was a small stadium - 38,000 people could fit inside.
More fans. Notice all the England flags!
Just about to start.
During My Country Tis of Thee. Oh sorry God Save the Queen. I read reports that the Brits sang their national anthem stronger than the Americans. That's not true - the Brits sang their version, the Americans sang My Country Tis of Thee even louder - so the whole stadium was singing during that song. The Brits - they don't know our song, so that's why it wasn't loud. Also? More Brits in the stands than Americans.
And this is during our National Anthem.
That was after England's goal, 4 minutes into the game.
Ok hope you enjoyed the pics!!!! More coming for Slovenia vs. USA!
