Football match number two for the Piateks :) It was a rematch between Chelsea and Everton(Liverpool team) for the FA cup which Chelsea is the defending champs. 
This was an official Team America outing and pictured above are the Team America Crew who were able to make the event haha... John, me, Kristen, and Karen.
Also from Team America was Everton's goalie and the USA national team goalie Tim Howard. Unfortunately he was unable to make it for pulled pork BBQ after the match :)
The game was 0-0 after 90 minutes and 1-1 after 30 minutes of overtime so it was all down to penalty kicks!!! Everton pulled out the win thanks to Howard (and chelsea player totally missing the goal) and the Everton fans went CRAZY (they are ranked 12 to Chelsea's 5 so big win). The best part of all the cheering was when all the fans chanted USA USA USA since Howard is American!!! It was a very exciting match and we had a great day followed up with Bodean's for dinner...a really good American BBQ place in london yummmmmm.
How fun! Hopefully Bobby & I can come visit when it is still football season!!
