it was actually a lot of fun to watch with him that way :)
| I was in London at the time, couldn't justify a ticket home for the olympics so I just watched most of the games streaming on the bbc (with no commentary...)
Went to the Maple Leaf Pub at Covent Gardens to watch the game. Arrived a few hours before the game and it was already at capacity. Lined up for an hour or so before I could get in.
There were random people in the pub. A bunch of irish guys who had been drinking since noon. They told me people just started rushing in and they had no idea why so they figured they might as well just stay and find out what all the fuss is about.
There was a guy next to me that honestly teared up everytime we scored a goal. |
