Go England!

It was England verse Switzerland in the Euro tonight so we left work early to catch the game in a pub in Cambridge. After the gutting loss against France on Sunday night (England was actually winning till the 92nd minute!) there was some rather anxious Brits. But tonight was celebration all round - 3 nil to the home crowd. I narrowly missed the elation of arms up in the air with this photo and only managed to capture the afterglow. Too slow...

I must say i am becoming a very patriotic english supporter when it comes to the footie though there's no doubt where my loyalties lie if South Africa and England are playing each other! It's nice to have two sides to support though - like in the world cup rugby last year. When South Africa was kicked out, i still had the Brits to cheer and they went on to win the whole thing, to the massive delight of everyone here. Johnny Wilkinson will be regarded as a national treasure forever more, and the DVD of the great match is still at the top of the best seller list here... A great moment to be sure, but of course, for me, nothing close to 1994 and Nelson in that green jersey...
