It was all go in between matches.

Just prior to thrashing the local Portuguese lads.

Outside the Estadio de Municipal Aveiro.

Can you spot the Dutch fans!?

Cheesy grins.

Czech Republic v Latvia -More balloons than fans.

In Coimbra en route to England v Switzerland.

Estadio Cidade de Coimbra.

Another hard day at the office for Danny and Deaks (batting).


I thought I'd start adding some pictures taken from previous footballing trips. These ones were undertaken before I started writing about them. This one was one of the best. Strictly speaking this wasn't a European Football Weekend - it was a European Football Fortnight. Two of the best weeks of my life. 5 games of live football, friendly locals, good company, nice food, beers aplenty, beach cricket, great accomodation. It really was a carnival of football. Four years have passed since this holiday and if you ever stumble across one of us in a pub, you'll probably still overhear us talking about how brilliant it was.
