Marc had run off to join the circus. We thought we'd go visit and watch England fall to their worst defeat under Sven Goran Eriksson when Denmark thrashed them 4-1 in a friendly.

13 Their living quarters. This is it. The whole thing. Wow!
14 Taking Tommy to his first England game - a friendly against Denmark. 0-0 at half time and then the magnificent Sven (manager) made some changes. We got spanked 4-1 and the goalkeeper David James lived up to his nickname "Calamity"
15 Making sure we look good for the locals Obviously the boys needed no extra help!
16 See how friendly it was - we are queueing with the Danish lads and not a punch-up in sight. Thank goodness!
17 Anthony deciding to chicken out and hide his England top. Tommy was brave though :-)
18 The Parken Stadium, Copenhagen, Denmark
19 Getting ready for the magnificent England Victory !?
20 Packed in with the Danes
21 Tommy is smiling, we obviously haven't kicked off yet :-)
22 As the teams came out so did the glitter. Marvellous.
23 Enter the gladiators
24 One of the many times that England had to kick off! This was the start of the match though so no worries yet.
25 A rare England attack in the first half that led nowhere
26 Binoculars to help see the far-off pitch.

28 Calamity James waiting to let in his first goal.
29 The Danish player heads it and it goes past James and the defender. Wonderful.
30 Scoreboard says it all
31 But there's still time for more.
32 We walked out after this attack, just as Rooney scored for England. But at least we missed the 4th Danish goal.
33 Deciding what to do and where to go in Copenhagen
34 Still brave enough to wear the England shirt And face the ridicule from the Danes :-(
35 Bus tour around Copenhagen.
36 The famous Tivoli Gardens
37 The even more famous (?) little mermaid
