Portugal Against Czech Republic

 

Hello!  How are you!  It has been a while since we talked. We left off with the girls attending girls' camp.  After their return, Avery, Ivy, and I headed to Germany. I will write more about that later, as well as during our week in France, but while it is fresh in my mind, I would like to write about our opportunity to attend the Portugal against Czech Republic soccer match in the European 2024 Soccer Championships.  Winston was able to get us tickets.  Just getting the tickets is a miracle in and of itself, as they are highly coveted tickets. We were beyond excited, to say the least, as we love soccer and have always wanted to attend the games. The game was beyond fantastic!  It was a nail-biter as the Czech Republic was on their A-game and wouldn't give up without a fight. The first half ended without anyone scoring, but around the 62-minute mark, Czech Rep scored.  Being a Ronaldo fan, we were disappointed for Portugal. They, of course, rallied back and made their own goal, tying up the score to 1-1.  Several more attempts were made, but no one scored. Then Portugal scored another goal only to find out it was offside, so no point was achieved. The clock is now winding down, and just shortly before the 90-minute mark, Portugal scores their official second goal, winning the game.  The stadium erupted with applause.  It was insane! It was fantastic!  The only thing missing was having Frank with us. He couldn't go to Germany with us because he had to work in Korea. Well, I think we are headed to the lake today. It isn't warm enough to go in the water, but maybe the girls will have fun in the sand.  Stay tuned, and I will tell you about our week in France.
