australia vs denmark
And so it was: thousands of Australian fans and about three Danish people convened on Shepherd's Bush to watch the Socceroos play Denmark on Tuesday 6th February 2007. It was one in a series of friendly matches being played around London that night, but it was the only one that counted ;)Unfortunately we ended up losing 1-3, with Denmark scoring their first goal about four minutes into it, and it all going downhill from there... but this was my first football match experience in London and it was fun. There wasn't much leg room - anyone over about 5'5 was smushed up against the seat in front - and it was absolutely freezing, but we got a mexican wave going during the game, AND I purchased my first item of patriotic green and gold coloured clothing, which economically doubles up as a Brazil scarf (if, hypothetically, I was a Brazil supporter).
When the game ended, the only pub on the way to the tube was completely empty. If we'd won that night, I'm sure it would have been a different story.
