A couple of my English mates are driving down for the game. I honestly couldn't be bothered - 4 hour drive for a friendly during the week wasn't worth it. The stadium is almost sold out for the game against Honduras on the weekend but there will likely be a lot of Honduran support there. Cheapest tickets were $45.
What sort of supporter are you? A lot of people would go to the ends of the earth to support their country, and when you said the next game would be a stadium full of Hondurans just think of how far they have traveled! OOPS probably not very far - sorry Tampa (lol).
I'm the kind of supporter who spends his hard earned on games that are meaningful....like a 48 hour trip to Wembley back in 2008 to the playoff final....not to watch a bunch of players who have little pride in their shirt play a friendly. Granted, would have been fun to hang out with the beautiful people on South Beach last night but I would have had top get back to Tampa early this morning for the kids end of year awards at school at 8am. That wasn't going to happen. Got to have your priorities in life.......... By the way, the Hondurans all live in Miami.......no-one speaks English down there these days.
It's a tragedy to see the England shirt worn by players who clearly have little pride in representing their country and would probably like to be somewhere else. Money and egotism rules the game these days and I can't see it changing in the future. Adios Tampa!
