A Welsh football fan got to see his national team play the semifinals at Euro 2016 in France after winning a tongue-in-cheek Facebook challenge with his American boss.
San Francisco-based Matt Trotman,White Nude Taken Down 28, decided to travel to France after Wales unexpectedly qualified for the knockout stages of the European tournament.

The Dragons' historic victory against Belgium put Trotman into a dilemma: head back or watch the team play against Portugal?
He posed the question to his boss Stephanie Brooks, who said that if he could get 1,000 likes on Facebook he could stay for the game.
So the Welshman started begging for likes on Facebook with a post in which he even tagged his U.S. manager.
The post was shared by friends and family who were happy to help a fellow Welshman:
At the end of the day, the post got 1,400 likes.
Luckily for Trotman, the manager kept her word:
"As the likes were coming, I was going crazy thinking this is going to happen," he told Wales Online.
“I didn’t expect it to happen, I thought I’d give it a try and luckily my manager kept her word.”
“It was definitely a together, stronger moment.”
