Leeds, England

Here we are again at yet another soccer game. Our third Tottenham game this year, and finally they won! It was so great to see them win, and they also advanced to the next round of this tournament.

Here are a few pictures of the stadium before the game started. The ride down to Leeds was fine, but as soon as we got there it started snowing. We tried getting into several different pubs/restaurants but because we were away fans we couldn't get into any of them! So we had to eat dinner at McDonald's. Least they don't discriminate there! haha No it's just that Leeds has some of the worst fans in all of England, so they separated the opposing sides and have cops all over the place!



Inside the stadium. We once again had great seats right behind our keeper.

The match, Tottenham is blue
Close-up of the team, we're defending a corner kick, and my favorite player Gareth Bale is #3 on the bottom right corner!
Tottenham fans cheering for their team!

Celebration after our first goal!

After the game everyone was allowed to leave except the Tottenham fans! They held us after the game for 45 minutes, so that they could get the Leeds fans out and clear the area to avoid any fights breaking out after the game!
Only ones left in the stadium now!
We got to watch the people who didn't play cool down!haha
Still waiting to get out of the game!
Jon with Jason and me. Jon is the guy who's been able to share all these great times with us and get us tickets to the games.
Finally get out of the stadium and there are cops everywhere in groups of 20! Never seen anything like it. They all wear these yellow fluorescent jackets so that's why all my pictures glow! Only have a few pictures though because Jason wanted me to stop taking pictures of the cops!haha
I've talked about this before, but here's another CCTV camera van. They video tape everything over here, so watch out or you might be on CCTV!
More cops
Scariest part was when we left and walked past this pub. Everyone on the inside was starring at us and pounding at the glass, all Leeds fans of course. They looked like caged animals chopin at the bit to get us! Crazy and fun night though!
