The Aztex travelled up the M6 (think I-35, just as painstakingly slow in places!) for their second game in 24 hours. Accrington Stanley are one of the 12 original members of the Football league and therefore have a long history in the game. The stadium is a litte like going back in time but the people are just warm and friendly. We put on a great show, looking more confident and clearly enjoying the playing surface. The fans showed some great British humour when our first goal went in, chanting "USA, USA" and then 'touchdown'!!! They also found it highly amusing that our two Haitian triallists made a kind of scream when they went down from a tackle and proceeded to scream every time they touched the ball afterwards! I spoke with Ednerson and VaVa after the game (in my best school French) and learned that teh coach in Haiti encourages them to do this! Don't think they will be doing it any more in the north of England!
The players have a day off today and then tomorrow, go to the Stoke City v West Ham game, they are very excited, as am I - it's my first live game this season.
