France v England
Lisbon, Euro 2004

The Euro 2004 Finals in Portugal paired England with France, Switzerland and Croatia in the group stages. England qualified in 2nd place and faced host nation Portugal in the quarter-finals. Here are a few pictures to help you sample the atmosphere. The venue for this game was the Luz Stadium (Stadium of Light) in Lisbon.
Result after 90 mins: France 0, England 1 (Lampard)
Result at full time: France 2 (Zidane 2), England 1 (Lampard)

Switzerland v England    Croatia v England    Portugal v England

Rossio Square, Lisbon

In the Rossio Square, we found loads of other non-TractorBoys England fans

TractorBoys located

After a bit of searching we found some stray TractorBoys from Debenham wandering around. The orange arrow is pointing to another TractorBoy flag

In the pub

All too soon, it was time to find an English pub. This is the Pump House in the Cais do Sodre

How did that get there??

It appears our flag got a new decoration from somewhere

Strange French People

On the metro on the way to the Luz Stadium, we saw some French supporters. This one had a strange paint fetish

Outside the Ground

Had to stop for a quick pic outside the stadium

Poor security

It was shocking to see that security let someone into the ground wearing a green and yellow shirt

Strange game

Apart from drinking, the organisers had provided some strange games for us to play before the match. We didn't have a go at this game but if we did, we'd probably have won

Inside the ground

Once in our seats, it's always a challenge to spot friends and TractorBoys flags

Our Flag

Even managed to get our flag hanging up although the demented French women on the left had a real attitude problem (that's why the flag isn't hanging straight)

Before the game

As part of the match build-up, some small children had to stand in the middle of the pitch and wave flags about

Sunset of the Luz
