We went we saw we sweltered....

Well the footie was a great evening all-in-all. We had fun, went with some nice people and it was a great atmosphere. Football was a bit poor, the first game anyway, we stayed for the first half of Chile Congo and that was a lot more interesting. Two games for $15, bargain. And the Commonwealth Stadium was amazing, brilliant views and a 40ft x 20ft jumbotron screen.

The weather was gorgeous, mid 30's and bright, bright sunshine. Luckily we had our backs to it, marvellous :)

The only bad point was queuing to collect our tickets. The organisers were very unorganised. They had 4 people sorting out tickets for the 31,000 that turned up........in one hour. So most of the other people did not get in for the first game, or at best the first half. Note I said other people, 'smug mode', we got there a bit earlier, got our tickets after about 30 mins and sat down, complete with hotdogs, at kickoff.
