England v Turkey International friendly match at the Manchester City Stadium. |
My surprise treat for doing so well at my dancing and swimming events this week. |
 |
My ticket to the match. |
 |
A quick lunch at my favourite 'Five Guys' at the Trafford Centre Manchester. |
 |
Then on to the Etihad Stadium. |
 |
There was a great atmosphere in the fan zone before the match. |
 |
Come on England! |
 |
Time to look in the shop. |
 |
Here's what I spent my money on. |
 |
I bought my programme also. |
 |
We enjoyed some more of the live entertainment. |
 |
Then headed into the stadium. |
 |
This is my view of the pitch. |
 |
Ready for the match to start. |
 |
Listening to the pundits on my radio. |
 |
The stadium is very empty still. |
 |
Joe Hart warming up, at his home club. |
 |
There's the Turkey fans. They were very loud and singing the whole match. |
 |
Here come the rest of the team to warm up. |
 |
Harry Kane. |
 |
Come on Jamie Vardy, let's have some goals. |
 |
That's it warm up over, time for the anthems. |
 |
Look at the St Georges flag in the crowd. |
 |
Here come the teams. |
 |
Singing the British Anthem. |
 |
The large three lions emblem passing through the crowd. |
 |
Team talk. |
 |
Hooray! The match is about to start. |
 |
The team talk must have worked 1-0 England in the 3rd minute, Harry Kane scored. |
 |
He's got a great view! |
 |
What do you think Roy? |
 |
Foul! |
 |
Free Kick. |
 |
One of Kane's many missed opportunities during the game. |
 |
Oh dear, what happened in the 13th minute Joe Hart? |
 |
Ready to go again. |
 |
Foul and free kick second chance. |
 |
Give Dele Alli the ball then. Is this football or rugby? |
 |
What are you going to change for the second half Roy? |
 |
Half Time. |
 |
Enjoying the match. Cannot wait for the second half. |
 |
Lets get a second goal Jamie Vardy. |
 |
How are we going to score then Harry? |
 |
Finally here come Turkey for the second half, they made everybody wait! |
 |
Second half. |
 |
We're ready. |
 |
So are the Turkey supporter's. |
 |
Harry Kane's penalty. |
 |
Saved or did it hit the post :-(. |
 |
What do the commentators think of that? |
 |
Finally Jamie Vardy scores! |
 |
Lots of defending till the end of the match. |
 |
No injuries before the Euro's please. |
 |
Full time. |
 |
Well done England 2-1 win. But still lots of work and improvements needed before the Euro's. |
 |
Time to head home. |
 |
I enjoyed my first visit to the Etihad. |
 |
What a great weekend. Nothing better than falling asleep on the way home! |
