City Of Coventry Stadium - Women's Quarterfinals

Great Britain vs Canada
I made it to an Olympic 2012 event.  My first visit ever to Coventry's magnificent football stadium.   Canada won by 2 goals. Unfortunately, Great Britian just didn't get into the game.  What an evening.  USA women played in Newcastle and are still in the competition....Go USA!

I am a bit jealous. I have never been to an Olympic event. Hope you enjoyed it.

How exciting that you got to see an Olympic event. I don't care who wins, I'm just happy the games are played.

No worries, Stefan. I am jealous too...family are off to see athletics today. I did enjoy the Women's football in Coventry just the same. Sweden had a big win today in sailing.

I did want GB to win, Petrea. If they had been playing USA, not sure who I would have shouted for...happens a lot :).

So cool - I've not been to an Olympic event either! Both shots are great, can almost feel the excitement in the air, seeing the crowds and teams! (Hope you've been able to catch some good Olympic coverage. I'm also not sure what I'd do if US plays Team GB! Cheer for both I suppose! :)

Great photo and bet it was a good atmosphere. I saw some road race cycling in London and soaked up the Olympic atmosphere there too last week. Hope to get to the outside screens in Manchester this week- football here next 2 evenings I think...

We had such a good time, Lulu and Chrissy. Fantastic atmosphere and so loud! Lovely to see what having Olympic events in the City has done to lift spirits and bring in visitors. Lots of fun. I am just watching USA playing Canada in Manchester. Pretty good crowd. No doubt that I want USA to win. Time will tell. Better get back to watching extra time :).

PS. Better add that I am watching the USA game on TV. Wish I could be there in that super stadium in person. Cheers!
