Once inside Danny was impressed by the ground and the view that we had.
Belgium were the first to break the deadlock and at that
point the only thought was “Please don’t let it be a rout with the world
watching”. That wasn’t to be. Slowly working our way back into the game,
Ashley Williams, scored the equaliser that made it game on as Cymru pushed on
to get another goal before half-time. Through
the 2nd half the Cymru started to push for the 2nd. That goal as a peach from none other than,
HAL ROBSON – HAL ROBSON KANU!!!! What a
goal but an header from Sam Vokes made sure that it wasn’t the winner although
the quality of the turn and shot made it for many THE GOAL of the tournament.
The end of the match brought wild celebrations
and non-more so than the team the spirit epitomised by Ashley Williams’ and his
refusal to be substituted. A word of
thanks to the Belgian fans and their supporters band who played and applauded
the Cymru fans out of the Gare de Lille.
So Danny and I made it back to the hotel and a quiet celebration watching a replay of the game.
The next day was warm and sunny so while I packed Danny sat on the edge of the balcony. I was worried that he may fly away but the promise of dragon treats worked.
We spent some of the morning looking around Lille before catching the train (just!!). our train stopped at Charled de Gaulle Airport and Danny was amazed at how empty it was.
Not too long and then we were back in our gite in Combourg where we spent a restful weekend, if it can be restful attempting to book accommodation in a city which is going to host a semi-final of Euro' 16. Now it's we're on our way to Lyon for the match with Portugal.
