The British Invasion!

Despite all the hype about English fans being troublesome, nothing could be further from the truth. I was in Cologne for the England-Sweden match. Around 70,000 England supporters came. All of them without tickets. Did they drink a lot of beer? Yes. Were they loud? Yes. How did they behave? Like gentleman and gentlewomen. In then end there were a lot of bored police just hanging around.


Don’t believe the hype! I saw England supporters drinking and singing with Swedes, Germans, Brazilians, and Argentines. Again, this just goes to show that football fans are so special. If we can all get along so brilliantly, we can’t our leaders?
