Come on England!

Three packed floors of excited people anxiously wait to watch their country take on Uruguay in the World Cup match. The walls echo tradition and a sense of home as the England team represents the crowd over 5,000 miles away. The bar area is packed with people ordering drinks. Covered in spilled beer, the wood floors are home to tired feet of eager fans waiting for the game to start.

 The crowd erupts as the British Anthem, God Save the Queen, plays from Brazil with people singing loud and proud as they represent the place they call home. As the game begins, the eyes are peeled to the multiple televisions around the pub. Surround sound speakers and the occasional scream from controversial calls captivate the air as the ball gets passed up and down the field.

When England gets within scoring range, the crowd, with groans and cheers, await to see if the ball was scored. With Uruguay winning 1-0, the battle was on. It was not until about halfway through the second half that England scored and everyone exploded with cheers and happiness. The true England energy  and passion immerses.

 The game continues with its ups and downs, free kicks, corners and goal kicks and unfortunately another goal from Uruguay with just minutes to go. The defeat scattered across the crowd as it was stained with silence. The game ended in a loss for England, with people complaining about the game as they walk down the stairs and outside. It is through these kinds of experiences that depict the pride of England.
