u gonna be in as "positive" mindset next week too ? i see u have planned it all for next 3 years when u havent overcome even a one event yet. they should arrange a tournament in tahiti or some place like that. i wanna build a sand castle.

plah

I'll be very positive next week. England is so much better than those Brazilian twats.
Did you write everything down for the next 3 years? Start begging your boss for a few weeks off during every event so we can hop around at every tournament from beginning till end
You can build plenty of sand castles in the Algarve

got that right i wonder should i study who r actually playing in the games we attend. GB i know and that thing u drool over plus sinclair and few swedish and japanese but that's about it...oh and marta.

it's not that long list and i am still dissapointed that next summer only the final will be in stockholm area and the rest of the games r divided into too many places in southern sweden

how long the spring time cups usually last? week or two? dont think i have to beg for a day off that time of the year...july is the hardest month but seems like begging works for that . sand castle with a pretty sunrise or sunset behind (though i do fear the sand castle will not be that pretty and ruin the whole moment).

You only have to look at Erin. Or only take pictures of Erin, like I do. But just in case you wanna get to know more players:

Well, then you get to see more of Sweden. You can alos stay in stockholm for two weeks and watch the games in your hotelroom or a pub

Good, so we're doing all these trips then?

i prefer sinclair more but still carney is way more better than anyone else on that site

why i would stay in stockholm when i can watch games free at home and keep your pubs away from me. can promise that the final i can at least do. canada would require lot of saving and planning as for cyprus and portugal...rather tempting

maybe a week from now i have already locked u outside the hotel room for being overly rude

Carney Still don't understand what's so interesting about her.

Because in Stockholm you have this nice atmosphere that you don't have at home And you can yell at people instead of the tv

Canada is something I really consider doing. Also because I just know a lot of players will retire after that tournament so it's also a symbolistic closure to a period in my life. Not really into the rookies we have now, compaired to Abby, Christine, Erin, Nicole, Amy etc.

I won't be rude. I'll be the most polite and kindest person you'll know

nor do i exactly but that's how it is

true, cos i have more comfortable athmosphere at home and i hate yelling. i rather frown at the tv or just abuse the furniture i am sitting on.

canada would be one of the most amazing destinations (not as good as new zealand but still). pity the country has to be so bloody expensive. i remember we were warned about the costs in canada if someone wanted to go there as an exchange student . nevertheless vancouver intrigues me.

will u serve tea then, prepare my baths and carry the bags and i'll be the retard i always am.

If the Dutchies will qualify for Euro 2013, I'll go to Sweden next year I love yelling and screaming and acting like a retard.

I'm already saving money for 2015. Canada is a country I've always wanted to go. So if I can combine that with footie, it's the perfect combination.

No, I won't. You will have to take care of your tea, your bath and your bags. How much stuff do you carry with you next week? One bag?

well dutchies just have to manage to go through without being the group winners ...yankey being your fave word. finland almost certainly in the games. would be nice to see germany again too

and do u have any idea how much u will have to save

rather rude for not wanting to be a servant . two bags, one big and backpack. might survive a week with a small one but since i paid extra for the cargo hold stuff better use that money and who knows what useless stuff i drag back with me .

i also have this very "practical" map of birmingham...u can hold the other end and i the other and we can block the whole street by reading it hopefully there r smaller ones at the station. also i have the tickets for the warwick castle on sunday but those dont include the merlin tower or the dungeon show. i try to do some research during the weekend about trains, places and stuff but i hope u r more patient than ria if there happens to be a wrong turn or two

u still opting for the train from central london to birmingham? and r we on for manchester on friday?

No, no idea. You? Probably a few 1000 just to be sure you have enough to travel trough the whole country

I'll stuff everything up in one bag and put an emty shoulderbag in it so on non game days I don't have to carry souvenirs everywhere around or stuff it up in my pockets

I have to do some research this weekend as well if I wanna end up in Birmingham on Tuesday Probably take the train. I hope I can buy a ticket there and that I don't have to oreder them. Otherwise I'll have a problem

It's Manchester on Thursday dude My friend and her boyfriend will join us.

Canada is staying in Coventry. Don't know which hotel tho.

the only thing i am aware of it's that the flights alone will be near 1000e, no insight on what the hotels would be let alone travel between places

better to have extra space to carry stuff than too little space. i try to avoid taking the backpack to the matches as the info things advise people not to because it prolongs the security checks.

have u considered how much time it will take to travel from heathrow to either euston or marylebone where the trains to birmingham will leave? if the gain is only an hour or less (seems the train journey time is about 2 hours) then u should just avoid all that complexity and ticket buying and take the bus from heathrow . i am cool with the waiting as that whole day is dedicated to just getting to the right destination . if u opt for the train one would think there r ticket booths where u can buy them without any card shit.

fine by me that leaves the friday for the opening ceremony. cant do the OT tour then though as 2 men's games r played that day. not against the law to visit the stadium i guess and i am sure the megastore will be open *drool*...there might be a bit of a crowd there though. will i be surrounded by dutch weirdoes or is this boyfriend from somewhere else?

probably in the cheapeast and crappiest and erin is sleeping in a box outside the place shall we head to coventry after breakfast maybe we can see a bit of the place before going to the stadium around 3pm. or do we have to go through every hotel in there

edit: i bought tickets for us from birmingham to london on 30th as they had the cheap fare online...so off to london at 12.15. i also remembered that i have forgotten (again ) my mastercard pin code as i only use it for online stuff where i dont need it. too late order a new one. got the proper visa too but the card hasnt arrived yet. luckily the electron thing worked for booking the train. any idea when we should be in manchester? could look up tickets for there too.

I'll take the train to Birmingham. If I take the bus I can chose between 16.20 (which I'm likely going to miss as the plane lands at 16.10) or I have to wait till 17.50 for the next one. I'll arrive in Birmingham around 20.30. That's to late for me

I can choose this one:

16:40 Heathrow Underground - London Euston [EUS] 17:36 (about 56minutes)

17:43 London Euston [EUS] - Birmingham New Street [BHM] 19:08 (about 1h 25m)

Would be perfect to get that one as you don't have to wait that long

Her boyfriend is english And he is on crutches. He broke his ankle. So we should take long walks and climb some stairs or something

Heading to Coventry after breakfast is fine with me. Don't know how many hotels Coventry has, but we should check all of them

Around 12 in Manchester? That's what my friend opted. Canada has to win their match tho otherwise I'll be grumpy and moody all day

beacuse u have to be in bed before 9 o'clock if u take that one u r probably in birmingham bit before me as the passport stuff and getting my bag will take some time and then have to find the train to new street. so guess we r meeting in there just have to find a spot like burger king, mcdonalds, a specific exit or something familiar we can both find or then just spy on which platform the trains come depending who is there first.

gonna look for a new phone tomorrow as my 8 year old piece of junk has always a dead battery these days. then informing each other about possible delays or change of plans wont go a miss because of that crappy machine .

one possibility is the open top hop-on-hop-off sightseeing bus assuming no one is too familiar with manchester. used that with ria when leaving old trafford and wanting to go to trafford centre to eat though it goes to plenty of other places too. want me to get the manc train tickets too if i aim on a noon arrival?

cant be too many as i didnt find any available twin room ones from coventry when i was looking a hotel for us. so those bitches probably invaded some hotel with such an option unless they r sleeping on double beds. and i am sure the lower than 3 star places r out of the question though maybe they lodge in some further away from the city centre place. not that i care of course

dont tolerate grumpiness so u would be slapped and after all they would be losing to world champions

Birmingham New Street is where that thing took me to. Have no idea where that is

As long as you still have the same number, it's fine with me.

The thing with these hop on hop off busses is that I'm too lambal to hop off so that will be entertaining

We can follow the bus after the game Or we can walk around in the stadium if they're gonna watch the Sweden-South Africa match.

it's the main station in birmingham and exactly where u should be. my train from the airport comes there as well so we just have to find each other. i have tried to track our route to the hotel from google street view, just have to hope i remember it

i do, but seems like when changing the sim card to the new phone all my international numbers dissapeared should have yours in my PMs so i hope it's not past your bed time cos i am gonna test it just to be on the safe side. why even the cheaper phones have internet and touch screens and what not...i apologise beforehand of all the rude words i am gonna say to the device .

then u can just go round and round and round and spit everytime it drives past man shity's stadium lets buy the tickets to mancester on thursday i am too lazy to do it now as my things r not yet in order.

yes we can follow the bus like 15 seconds and then it's gone and miss the other game completely since we can exit the stadium in between the games. just wonder how many hairs u will pull out if erin isnt starting
