Nathan Judah's Marbella Tour Diary - Day 6
When the Euro's started, I didn't realise I'd be watching one of the most pivotal football games of my life deep behind enemy lines - but here we are!!
The club media team were generous enough to invite Keeno and myself to a beach bar not too far away from the team hotel.
So what could have been the biggest 90 minutes or 120 minutes of my life as a football fan, would be sat around a large plastic table with nine chairs, a 75in TV in the distance and Spanish fans to the left, right and in-front of us.
There was also a decent amount of support for England with a few families making it a partisan atmosphere as the national anthems belted out.
To the calm the nerves, it was necessary to indulge in an alcoholic beverage - so instead of going to the bar consistently, myself and my colleague decided to get a bottle of rose wine.
This wasn't your average bottle, the establishment are well known for 'going big' and with the magnitude of the game we were witnessing, I succumbed to their 3-litre bottle of rose wine!
LK: It was definitely needed too! I was very nervous before kick-off and for everyone around our table it was the biggest game of our lives. We were absolutely desperate to win.
Half-time.....ok.....not great, not terrible.... more wine please - this is not going to be an easy watch.
And then came the inevitable - a Spain goal.
That was bad enough, but because we had the English commentary, a lot of the Spanish fans were watching on their phones and were about 30 seconds ahead.
So a big cheer from them led us to believe we were in deep trouble - and just a few seconds later our worst fears were confirmed.
