So the first England match of this tournament changed late on. Yugoslavia were thrown out of the competition due to the conflict in that region. Denmark won a reprieve as runner up in that group and went on to win the tournament. The game finished 0-0 and sadly there was lots of trouble after that game. The main focus was on the beers tents provided near the grounds - that was the last we saw of them. They put on a few other events to keep people occupied, I ventured along to see Ziggy Marley and the Wailers, most people spent 24 hours in the bars or drinking on the beach.

So 2 games in Malmo and no goals. So if was off to Stockholm for a game that would decide who qualfied for the next round.

Even worse was the campsite and tents in Stockholm. The facilities were pretty dire and the actual place about 50 mins out of the city! A total rip off place....

We go 1 up in the crutial last group game - David Platt. But as usual against Scandinavian teams we fall apart and lose 2-1. So eliminated at the group stages and time for the nice long coach journey home! We went with the English FAs official travel company Travel Management. Never again. It was a total rip off and we got a partial refunded upon complaining when we got home.
