Women’s Euro Match Spain v Finland On Friday 8th July some of us were lucky enough to watch a live football match at the MK Dons stadium; Stadium MK. We watched Spain v Finland in the group stages of the Euro 2022. Finland scored within 2 minutes and the crowd went wild but not as wild as when Spain scored. Mrs. Bentley was supporting Finland because everyone else was supporting Spain and she wanted to annoy us . We ate our dinner at half time which was weird as we have never eaten at a football stadium before. The crowd…
