Football games

We have been to several football games so far:
- Denmark v Slovenia in Stuttgart. An entertaining 1-1 draw in an impressive stadium (pics 1 and 2)
- Spain v Italy in Gelsenkirchen. 1-0 to Spain. Italy offered little going forward. We had front-row seats however and appeared on TV! (Pics 3-5)
- Germany v Hungary in Stuttgart. 2-0 to Germany. The hosts were expected to win this and did. I did not go to this one, just the others did.
- France v Nederlands in Leipzig. 0-0. We were most excited for this game but, unfortunately, star player Kylian Mbappe picked up an injury in the previous game and was out. The atmosphere was great but the result less so. Our tickets were split up so I watched the first half from the Dutch end on my own (pic 6-7). Joe found me a space in the French end for the second half, so I moved there (Pic 8)

We have covered 1,800km in 6 days. We now have 4 days of camping in Leipzig. Everyone is glad for a rest.Read more
