Holy mother of Dennis Bergkamp that was ridiculous. I have never ever in my entire life as a sports fan, witnessed anything like this. Nowhere near this.
I have been lucky enough to watch The Netherlands with Cocu, Davids and others, Ronaldinho’s first match with Barcelona, the girls play the FA Cup Final… countless baseball games, I’ve watched Tom Brady play a few times, Kobe Bryant a couple of times, David Beckham, Gerrard and Thierry in the MLS too… but none of the games meant as much to me because I have never been as committed or involved with any other team/franchise as I am with arsenal, but beyond any of this, we were all there for something that we didn’t know was going to happen but we were all hoping.
I have never felt energy like I felt the moment Beth walked over to I don’t know who haha, and she was getting directions, pointers, strategy or being shown silly cat memes. THAT was the moment when something flipped for me. That and also the 12 minutes of added time. I’m getting goosebumps as I type this too…
She is a game changer and after waiting close to a year, she was finally on the pitch and not only did she look electric, but she got an assist, but of course you saw it. But this is why I feel so lucky to have been there in person and why I always say how lucky local fans are… what I felt live is not something I’ve felt before. The energy shift, the collective love and hope and joy… It was special.
I was very fortunate to have been there and I will chat more about the match itself on the pod tomorrow!
