NFL in London (Ronnie is blessed)


So two Sundays ago I was blessed with a great surprise by a friend of our here in England.

Our friends name is Lawrence, and him and his son (Josh) had found some tickets on the internet for the NFL game in London between the Chargers & the Saints at Wembley Stadium. They decided that I was a worthy candidate for the extra ticket they had gotten and I was very willing and excited to receive this blessings ;)

After calling me Sunday morning to invite me and let me know that my dream of going to the game had come true. We were off to London early that afternoon, caught a quick nap in the car and help with the guiding to the stadium once we arrived into London. Had some great & crazy driving by Lawrence and found ourselves a place to park near Wembley.

Once we arrived at the stadium (after realizing we could have parked closer for the same price) we took some time to check out the surroundings of Wembley. We then headed into the stadium and found our seats. We had great seats on the 40 yard line up in the 3rd level, but they were still great seats.

Well the first quarter was slow, but after that it was all scoring. We got to witness a great display of offensive prowness from both the Chargers and the Saints. Dree Brees put on a show and I caught myself cheering for both teams (and the guys I have in Fantasy football).

The final score was Saints 37 - Chargers 32, it even came down to the last play of the game with Rivers throwing into the endzone, but no luck. However I would have to say that over 83,000 fans went home with a good impression of American Football and that is a good things.

Thanks Lawrence and Josh!!!
