I didn’t see it.
But as they are probably German almost certainly!
He was fully dressed. He was more of a pitch-invader than a streaker.
Anyway, St Pauli, I am sure you have had to answer this question a million times, but are you more for England or more for Germany in the next round?
I really struggle to bother to watch later rounds of these competitions if I don't have a dog in the race, so was hoping they'd avoid each other first and foremost.
I'd say I'd rather Germany won, but that's not actually because I prefer one side or footballing nation over the other.
The main reason is that English fans, having had nothing to cheer about since 1966, and without ever a real genuine hope of winning an international tournament, need to find their little victories were they can. These appear to be against Germany.
Many a time I've been sent SM messages by England fans about the time they beat Germany 5:1. In the meantime Germany won a world cup, beat Brazil 7:1 in Brazil, and have made it far in international competitions.
I'd like Germany to win, not because I prefer them, but simply to avoid the inevitable jingoistic tabloid crowing and 'yeah but we beat you at Wembley in '21 and then crashed out to Sweden' whenever the question of who is the better country at football, Germany (4 world cups, 3 Euro championships) or England (1 world cup, 0 Euro championships).
And no, the same crowing will not take place in Germany if they win, because the Germans don't really see England as a rival, they're just another European team to the Germans. They hate the Dutch.
Surely there's absolutely no question, even among knuckledraggers, over who is better at football between England and Germany?
I mean, it's just obviously Germany.
