Getting back to Montpellier.
A little while after we checked-in, a large group of Aussies dressed in green and gold Aussie football shirts arrived (the Green and Gold Army). Apparently there were 94 of them, not all staying at our hotel though. Although we were very aware that the FIFA Women's World Cup was being played in France during our visit, we hadn't taken any notice of who was playing where. We then realised that the Aussies must be playing in Montpellier soon. On checking, sure enough, they were to play the following night against Brazil. Of course, we felt obliged to purchase tickets.
Couldn't believe our luck. It was only a tram ride directly to the stadium from our hotel.
The hype at the stadium (inside and out) was fantastic and we were so pleased that it worked in our favour. The Aussie team had basically been written off, however they proved everyone wrong and won. Very exciting.
