English supporters, who have gained a controversial reputation, presented themselves in a more positive light on Wednesday.
The European football championships played in Germany will culminate in the final on Sunday, where Spain will face England, who secured their place in the finals late on Wednesday night.
Over the years, English football fans have gained a controversial reputation. For example, in the last European Championship, the violent and racist behavior of English fans became a big topic of conversation.
However, on the eve of the semi-final match played on Wednesday, England’s supporters presented themselves in a more positive light, when the unsuspecting German police came under the attention of the English, who showed good situational awareness.
The English people noticed that the policeman who was supervising the public order in Dortmund before the match looked very closely like the head coach of the English national team Gareth Southgate.
Supporters quickly surrounded the police, who were confused by the situation, and started singing Southgate’s praises to the tune of the well-known song Football’s Coming Home Again.
Supporters’ “Southgate you’re the one!” -song (Finnish: Southgate, you’re the right one!) there was also a bit of irony. The playing style that Southgate instilled in the national team has been criticized as boring during the games and at the same time it has been described as a great sleeping pill.
