American Accent…

So at the #England vs #Croatia game in #Dallas, this guy from @FoxSports came up to us and said, “Would you record a couple of words sounding like an American, just for a bit of fun?”

Oh dear…


The @FOXSoccer Instagram comments are absolutely brutal. Deservedly so! 😂🇬🇧🇺🇸

Waymo Taxi… 🚖

When we were in San Francisco, Darce and I jumped into a @Waymo taxi. It was my first experience of a driverless car, and I think it’s safe to say I was excited! 🥳

Homeward bound… ✈️

It’s been a fun three weeks across America and Canada, zipping from Boston to Seattle, Dallas, San Francisco, Portland, Vancouver and back to Boston. 

Caught loads of matches (both at the stadia and on TV), caught up with old friends, and made some new ones along the way. 

Thanks to everyone who made the trip so memorable. Until next time! 🇺🇸🇨🇦⚽ 

And thanks to my travelling companion, Darce. There was never a dull moment, we saw some amazing things, and we laughed a lot.

Boston - About Last Night…

Crazy football results (Germany and the Netherlands out).

Crazy bars (@TheAlleyBoston and @TheDublinerBoston).

Lots of laughs with Darce, Noah and new friend George.

A brilliant way to end our trip. ⚽️🥅🏟️🏆🇺🇸🇨🇦

Provincetown…

Had a great day out in P Town yesterday. The midday Boston fog evaporated and the sun shone through. Cocktails, burgers, the Boatslip Tea Dance, and a sundowner at the Anchor. Got chatting to a few people too. Happy days. 🏳️‍🌈

Boston: England @ Dillon’s…

A nice @Arsenal bar in Boston, sure, but their espresso martinis are made with Baileys. Yuk.

Still, we watched the England win on the telly box, so not a total loss. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😂

Vancouver : New Zealand 1 - 5 Belgium…

Our latest World Cup match was at the BC Place Vancouver stadium. Darce and I had visited an Arsenal pub beforehand, so it was fitting that Arsenal’s very own Leandro Trossard scored twice as Belgium booked their place in the World Cup knockout stage with a dominant win over New Zealand.


In a must win game for both sides, Belgium shook off two lacklustre displays to start the tournament and showed their superiority from the first whistle in Vancouver.


A fun match. In a fun city.
