FOOTBALL

Saturday Morning we got up early and headed out 3 hours away to arrive in Birmingham to an AWESOME or BRILLIANT Football game That's Soccer for you Yanks!!! It was a great game and we had so much fun!!! The Phillips Family had the great idea to go to a Football game and invite us along!! It was so much fun!! We were there a little early and the city wasn't very nice so we sat in the stands till everyone arrived but the Stadium was awesome!!
Here is us with the Phillips getting all excited before the game starts!!

So the fans and us got so into the game!! We were yelling and screaming!!! The opposing team Fulham scored the first goal and we had to show you the excitement of the team members of Aston Villa!! They weren't so happy!! But Aston Villa ended up scoring two goals in the second half and winning the game!!It was so fun!! The members of the fans get really into the game!! It's like an American High School Football game, the stands screaming back and forth , but its not like a couple of hundred its more like 36628 people screaming back at each other, its quiet and exhilarating experience.
The little section with hardly any people in it was for the opposing team! The little yellow people are the security guards and police protecting the fans because they were getting so into when they scored the first goal they were giving us the English Bird and yelling at us!! They were louder then us and we had way more people then they did!! They didn't like it all when we scored the final goals and won the police had to escort the fans out because it was a little crazy for them if you don't know what I mean you need to see the Movie Green Street Hooligans (it is rated R though for violence and cursing! But it is so like how it is!!!
Finally at the end of the game we took a picture outside of the Stadium!! This was so much fun!! I recommend everyone that visits England to go to a Football game and find out for yourselves how much fun one of these games are!! We will be definitely going to another game!!

Your blog is so awesome!! That's great you guys live so close to all the amazing sites in England and Europe. We used Ryanair when we were in Spain on our way to venice. It looks like a ton of fun!! I am working for a school district in Everett, Washington, 20 minutes north of Seattle and am going to go back to school the end of the month.
