Travel

A fan's tale of an away trip to the Prague game

This is the reason why I have always been so fascinated by the game of football. It's not just the game itself, its also the act of following YOUR team all around the country, overcoming travel screw ups, braving vicious opposition fans but at the same time also enjoying yourself. Such as travelling to a foreign country and taking in the sights and sounds before a game of football. I have been lucky enough to do that during Euro 2004 and I absolutely enjoyed it. Having a seafood lunch by the river Douro in Porto and enjoying some red wine, before going to a magnificent stadium to watch football in perfect weather. What a way to enjoy life. Shame that Singapore is no longer in the Malaysia Cup.

And this is also the reason I am going to Liverpool this Saturday to watch Liverpool take on Charlton. Besides Man United, Liverpool are the only other club I consider a giant of the English game and Anfield also intrigues me. Hopefully nothing screws up and I can be there on Saturday. Also going to watch Ajax Amsterdam in February. Really looking forward to that. Thanks Irving!! Maybe it would be nice to jot down other games which I would really like to watch.

1. World Cup final
2. European Championships final
3. Champions League final
4. UEFA Cup final
5. Rangers vs Celtic
6. Barcelona vs Real Madrid
7. AC Milan vs Inter Milan

Guess that's all for now....
