so as seen england fans booing national anthems of other countries i get booing the team and players i think everyone accepts thats in the name of sport but where has the respect gone at the beginning of the game.

now its one of 3 charges against us yes its football yes its sports but its unsportsmanlike to boo another country national anthem ..

other charge is lazer pen on the goal keeper during penalty..

and fireworks inside the stadium

such a great game to get us in the final marred by 3 charges that just should not of happened

There’s always a small minority that ruin it for others, the laser was a twat who should be banned, but if you watch the coverage it didn’t seem to affect the keeper in the slightest, the fireworks were outside the stadium on Wembley Way after the game (and was clearly a big multi-shot so would never have been taken inside so someone brought it along afterwards, can’t really see how the English FA can help that?).

The booing is regrettable and happens too often, however it was a clear minority last night and soon subsided. I was in the stadium and there was a guy booing near me that was hushed by everyone around him.

Not ALL supporters act like that!
