It was great. A wonderful day out. The atmosphere in Cardiff on a match day is fantastic. The stadium is in the city centre so streets are closed to traffic and everywhere you look it's a sea of red. And it's wonderfully good-humoured. It's true there was some abuse of the Italians. Some Welsh lads close to us were shouting, 'Tiramisu!' 'Pepperoni!' and, worst of all, 'Cinzano!!' Only the Welsh!
That's not a real Italian supporter in the photo by the way: he's English. Dragged along by his Welsh friend, who, like me, is probably still a little hoarse.
Three games played, three games won. We're on our way!

I like there contrasting expressions ;-)
I was trying to explain to students on Friday about the Cardiff atmosphere - but I really used to resent the public transport being stopped or rerouted because when you only have one day to shop and do business and don't have a car to go round the outskirts of the city to get to places, this really is too much! In fact, it's one of the things that finished me off!
