Brussels the next day

Today, I worked during the day before the France-England semi-final rugby match. We were really busy pub in the afternoon, so I was happy to be done at five. I met some really cool people from England earlier in the day, when I sat down with them for the match. We were just ahead of one of the large screens… it was impressive. We were also one of the only white shirt tables throughout the bar. It was a really fun experience. Now I will be honest, I wanted England to win, simply because I could not deal with the most french gloating.
If typical, at a crucial point in the match the power went out for a period of ninety seconds, as my friend (lol) Jonny W is taking a kick for England (believe me, it is magnificent). Anyway, when the power came back on, everybody was biting their nails, until we realized that England had
Ranked three point kick to put them in front. Well, they succeeded in keeping his head and he was freaking awesome! Here was England, which would even thought of the Pool and was eliminated in the final… I was so happy. Now it is at this point that you need to understand that there are good and bad losers… and the french are neither winners nor losers… good but for the most part, those who stayed at the pub were very cool. I stayed and celebrate all night with Celeste and a group of English guests I had met throughout the tournament, it was super fun!
