UEFA Euro 2020 Round of 16
England v Germany
Wembley Stadium
London, England
29 June 2021
When Germany emerged as RU from the Group of death an old acquaintance had been renewed. The topsy turvy Group F containing France, Portugal and plucky Hungary went to the wire; with France, Germany and Portugal scraping through to the Rd of 16.
Tickets were in ever high demand due to the restrictions placed on the attendance but there was a marked increase to 50% of the stadium's capacity (approximately 45K)
The atmosphere was unbelievable despite the reduced capacity.
England 2 Germany 0
Attendance: 41973
"Entschuldigung bitte kann ich ein Foto haben"?
"Sorry mate I'm from London, can you say that in English"?😂😂
Early train from Grantham, chin, chin
England super fan 'Suzie Sue' is asleep already
Alighting at Kilburn tube station - lets do this
Arriving at the North London Tavern
The boys from the Regiment
Sue, Gary, Neil, West Ham Paul, Dan, Liam, Jamie, Watford Paul, Tommo, Me, Smudge, Paul
Jaeger'd up and ready to party
Wembley Way again
Arches poking through the rain
Drinking under the passage, a sign of the future
Suzie in her bovver boots
Shorts in any weather, its an England thing
FTM
Breaching the outer perimeter
Hearts and minds campaign
Entrance 1 and we are back in Block 109
Breaching the inner perimeter
In the concourse v Germany
One England
Suzie Sue closing in on the bar
Belfast loyal
Block 109 - lets do this
Atmosphere is bangin'
The blue trampolines are tempting
It's getting serious
View is dead central in row 24
Official German support in the North West
England support in the West Stand
Atmosphere is really building as the teams are read out
England faithful in block 109
Following eviction to Block 111 the top is off and the singing really starts
After a rip roaring game the newly claimed football classic by Neil Diamond 'Sweet Caroline' is belted around the stadium.
Despite the 2:0 reverse the 'Germans' appear in good voice as they head down Wembley Way to the tube, next up Ukraine in the Stadio Olympic in Rome. An impossible fixture to attend but we look good for a Semi Final slot at Wembley.
