A bite & a local Fullers beer (www.fullers.co.uk) at the Crab Tree (http://thecrabtreew6.co.uk/) in Fulham, then heading to Craven Cottage following the French & German speaking crowd. Being an Italian I cannot really love them, I mean the Frenchies and ze German, but the UEFA Women Final is just in my neighborhood plus with £5 the nice lady at the cashier gave me and my friends a front & middle line seat.
Olympic Lyonnaise vs Turbine Postdam, both teams are playing a low pace game compared to the professional men’s matches though it helps to see perfectly the faults, enjoying the atmosphere, spotting good looking athletic guys (incredible how many at this match!) and hanging with Michel Platini just seated behind me. Not to be missed the sparkling cup quietly waiting to be held by winning hands. The result is 2-0, unlike last year when the two teams met already at the final and Postdam beat Lyon at the penalties. This is Lyon’s first Champions League title, by the way.
Craven Cottage for mild soccer fans is Fulham FC home (http://www.fulhamfc.com/Club/CravenCottage.aspx): cute little stadium standing along the River Thames in really fancy residential area, next to Bishop Park which hosting the Fulham Palace (http://www.fulhampalace.org/) a medieval building once home of the Bishops of London.
The end of my story is that now I’m thinking about buying a season pass – the whole experience was just too exciting and UK is the perfect place to watch soccer live!
