Euro 2000 part ii in Belgium ( v Germany)

We move away from a nice friendly Holland to Belgium. From having a great relaxing time and having a real laugh with the locals we move on to Brussles and matches in Charleroi and get treated like criminals from day one! The local immigrant population make sure we dont have a friendly welcome at all.





the Grande Place, nice place during the day, a battle ground in the surrounding streets at night. We decide to spend as much time as possible away from central Brussles




So we head out to Wellington







Mmmm we get on a train from Wellington to Brussels but it goes the wrong way so we get off at errrrrmmmm no idea! We did eventually get back to our hotel!

So we head off to Charleroi for a match against the Old Enemy






We luckily miss all the supposed riots and have a drink in the main square.....





.....boy am I glad we are not in that temporary stand! They have mountain rescue people at the ground in case anyone collapsed and needed treatment - and NO I am not joking!!


Below are pictures from the 1-0 win over Germany! Come on!!!!









Peter looks happy and relaxed, I dont!!










.............................Piers and I getting in the mood for a win over Germany!!.....
