The stadium was mostly made up of Columbia fans decked out in yellow, and they were in full voice throughout much of the match. It was only after moments of brilliance for England that one could make out the English fans.
England are the reining European champions, and many considered them the favorites. However, it was a cagey match. England scored first, but Columbia equalized before halftime. England got a second goal in the second half. By that time, we were exhausted and falling asleep.
We headed for the doors early and beat the crowds home on the public transit. All in all, it was a great day for soccer and a great start to our Australian World Cup adventure!
