Hereford campervan family cheers Lionesses to victory
Mr Morris spoke to BBC Radio Hereford & Worcester as the rest of the family caught up on their sleep after a late night getting to and from the stadium, but he said it was "worth it".
They are staying in their campervan at Arbon near Lake Constance, which is where the borders of Germany, Austria and Switzerland meet."It was just busy coming out of the stadium, said Mr Morris. "We got on to the one train station, we couldn't get on to the train. The next one came in. We changed for our last train and then just stopped in the middle of nowhere."We were there for about 20 or 30 minutes and we were told to get off and a bus would turn up."A bus did turn up but then it went everywhere, before we got back to where we're staying in Arbon, just on the side of Lake Constance."
The family's journey began on 5 July, when they set off for Dover to catch a ferry the next day. Their onwards journey took them to Paris, Courgenay and Zurich, where they watched England play the Netherlands, and then Arbon.On Tuesday, the family will drive their campervan back to Zurich, where they will watch England take on Sweden in the quarter-final on Thursday (20:00 BST) in a repeat of the Euro 2022 semi-final. In that game, England won 4-0.Mr Morris is optimistic: "I think we can do it again."
He said he hoped they would be "lucky enough to get through to see the semi-final", particularly as the family set off on their journey back to Hereford on 24 July.The Lionesses were crowned UEFA Women's Euro 2022 champions with a dramatic 2-1 extra-time victory against Germany to win their first major title in front of a record crowd.

Aberdeen full-back Nicky Devlin says it is down to all of the squad to help struggling striker Kusini Yengi get to grips with life at summer arrival from Portsmouth had another testing afternoon against Celtic and a poor Scottish Premiership debut against Hearts the week prior, with his side losing both games 26-year-old arrived at Aberdeen on a free transfer on the back of a barren second season in front of goal with Portsmouth, although he did net twice for Australia in a World Cup qualifier against said: "It's probably important for the rest of us to give him more opportunity. There were times he was having to feed off balls that weren't great quality into him."He was fighting against two big centre-halves, which was obviously making it difficult for him. I think we have to probably get the ball in better areas, play more to his strengths."It's his first taste of being up here, it's only his second game in the league. It's probably more about other people doing a wee bit more to support him and getting the ball into areas that we know he can be dangerous."We've seen it in training already, we've seen it in some of the pre-season games. We have to play more to his strengths at times, get the ball into areas that we know he's going to hurt teams."We wanted to start the first home game with picking up points, but ultimately I don't think we've done enough in the game to trouble Celtic."Aberdeen now face a wait to return to top-flight action and climb off the foot of the table, with their next fixture on August 31 against Falkirk, owing to their League Cup and European commitments.
