Euro 20 Rd of 16 v Germany, Wembley, London

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.
