First thing....queue for a ticket |
|
As we didn't know until 3 days earlier we would be in the quarter-final, the only way to get our tickets was to arrive early and queue up for them. 1 hour of drinking time wasted |

Portugese Supporter?? |
|
One of the boys managed to "liberate" (no, he wasn't from Liverpool) this Portugese air stewardess. Apparently, she is saying "Rooney, I want your babies" |

New drinking venue |
|
After the queuing for tickets, it was too far to go back to the Pump House so we decided to drink on the streets outside the ground instead |

Local supporters |
|
There were supporters from all countries mingling, we even met some guys from Mexico. I've never seen a scarf worn like this to a footy match |

Home of Benfica |
|
Back to the Estadio de Luz again. This time we went round the other way and found this impressive emblem of Benfica who play their home matches here |

England fans |
|
Outside the ground, England fans are everywhere |

More of us |

And a few more for good measure |

Pre-match build up |
|
For once, England fans were match in number for supporters which made for a fabulous atmosphere and ultimately losing on penalties again - bit like Ipswich and play-offs |
