AND SO, TO THE STADIUM
 |
|
Fans in silly hats , pretty much everyone in an England shirt except me! |
 |
|
The Japanese had pretty much adopted England as their second team
|
 |
|
|
|
We were marshalled by excitable police with loudhailers to the appropriate part of the stadium
|
 |
|
99% of the crowd were there to support England |
 |
|
probably only about 50 fans decked in green, though as most of them had instruments they made quite a din |
 |
|
The national anthems
|
 |
|
|
Boris and Nick having a swift beer in one of the numerous street side mini-bars
|
|
|
Acting the goat with a monk....well I gave him 100 yen
|
|
|
Quick photo opportunity with some birds....
|
|
|
....And some more, they showed us the way to the curry house
|
|
|
The police were never very comfortable with crowds gathering on the street, and when England fans started jumping about and singing, Japanese would inevitably join in and then the police would move in to break it up.
