Lionesses at Wembley Statdium

Tina managed to get hold of some tickets to watch the friendly between the England Lionesses and Germany at Wembley Stadium yesterday. So after school me and Holly jumped on the train to Liverpool St for her to have her 1st ever visit to Wembley and her 1st live match with the England Lionesses.

Unfortunately there has been a bit of a cold going around her school this week and Holly was feeling really under the weather. However she had been so looking forward to watching the match that she wasn't going to let anything stop her going. Things didn't bode well when she crashed out on the train heading up to Liverpool St and then was complaining about walking between Liverpool St and the tubes.

But we got to the match and after an extortionate £7 portion of mini chips we headed in to the stadium and found our seats. We had a really good view from side on and thoroughly enjoyed the light show with fireworks and flames at the start of the match. The match itself was very entertaining with lots of action at both ends. At half time I think it was 3-2 to Germany and the final score I believe was 4-3 to Germany. I felt a bit like Billy-no-mates at the game as Holly became friends with a girl sitting next to us and was having a full on conversation with her throughout the first half and completely ignoring me!

Anyway despite enjoying the first half Holly really started to feel worse and wanted to head home at half time. I kind of didn't argue with her as it at least meant we would miss the stampede and being crammed in to the tube like sardines (which really wouldn't have been good given how sick she felt!). So in the end she only saw half the match but still enjoyed the experience and had some quality father-daughter time to start the half term off.

Not looking good as Holly falls asleep on the train to Liverpool St.

We arrive at Wembley Park as the sun starts setting and see in the infamous Wembley arch.

£7 for a tiny little portion of chips - criminal!

Daddy-daughter time. Yes I am wearing an England boonie.

Great seats with a good side-on view of the pitch.

England players out for their warm up.

The opening show with music, fire, lights and fireworks was amazing.

But half time and Holly was feeling worse, so it was time to head home.
