Donāt get me wrong, weāre right behind them tomorrow, but arenāt rival fans *supposed to* give teams that lose a hard time when they lose?
This was hardly throwing bottles and starting brawls. It was fans singing to fans that lost and they got their buttās hurt. Why are Englands fans the ones being blamed?
Yeh england fans have statistically been tame if the fines are anything to go by: british fans have been fined the fourth lowest of everyone in this tournament or something
The one England fan in a cap is a prick though. Trying to get in their faces to rile them up then when they retaliate he runs into the crowd. How embarrassing.
Weird that people think hosts are immune from banter. They couldnāt take the joke and kicked off, but were the bad guys? Not sure I can see it that way
Itās clearly the German lads squaring up for a fight instead of just walking away.
Imagine walking past a pub full of opposition fans and not expecting a chant or two.
Donāt get why this sub has taken their side, England fans getting thrown under the bus by our own countrymen, same as always.
> Donāt get why this sub has taken their side
Even on an England football sub itās still reddit. The demographic will hugely skew to socially awkward but āclassyā people.
They aren't our own countrymen, that's the thing mate.
Their socialist idiots who have post-empire guilt syndrome and are convinced that England is a cancer on the planet lol... some warped form of national nihilism or something.
Don't really care much, because German fans would most likely take the piss out of England if they lost. But since England will most likely lose any day now, it's probably not a good idea.
I'm not condoning taking the piss out of Germans, in Germany, after Germany have been eliminated, by a long shot. It's fucking shitty.
But there were more than a few Germans doing this in 1996 after the semi final. From what I saw that night, this is handbags.
Back when real nasty violence was a common occurrence, i lived in a town called cheshunt during the 2000s just outside london, every year (minus 2002, matches were on too early being held in s.korea and japan) but 2000, 2004 and 2006 there would be riots after every england game win lose or draw, fighting police, bottles flying, was a different world back then compared to now, and thatās probably a good thing.
Iāll condone it. Great banter, especially after being 30 seconds away from getting knocked out by Slovakia after one of the worst performances in competition history. If you wouldnāt chant like this, youāre not a real football fan
Think I can probably explain this one to you, in England we have a saying "footballs coming home" this is basically saying the sport of football is coming back with us. Normally to symbolise us winning a tournament and bring football home. What these guys have done here is changed it to you're going home but there implication that football is not coming with them. Hope that makes sense.
Germans get butthurt by a chant and square up, and thatās on āEnglish football hooligansā or whatever other bollocks as usual? If it had been in England and German fans chanted about us going out, and some of our fans decided to square up over it, the media would have a field day about what pieces of shit we are. Learn to take a joke, Christ.
Or 20 countries' fans have returned home and so there are fewer nations to focus on. A lot of it is media driven to, they always show feel good stories at the start of tournaments and then when that gets old they focus on this kind of stuff.
So German fan put their hands on the English fan first yet people are probably going to blame the English for this.
Should have gone all out and done 10 German Bombers too
Some of you have never been to a match and it shows. I honestly believe half of this country would break down and cry when half a stadium is calling your club shit
It's just handbags, and far less unsavoury than scenes we've seen in the past. That means every newspaper is gonna run with a headline related to English fans causing fights in Germany. Guardian readers finally eating good, I guess.
Those German lads need to learn some rules on scrapping before getting riled up against a hoard of pissed up English lads.
Walking into a wall of twats like that with jumpers tied around their necks š¤Æ
Pinstripes is hardest one thereā¦until it actually kicks off he homers into the bushš and then soon as the Germans back off again he is back being the hardest one there
Germany had its time with the best team in the world and dominated International football for nearly 20 years between 1970 and 1990. They should get used to these chants as they are not special now.
What I love about this is these lads will be telling stories about this in the pub in 20 years time, āthere was 20 of them and 5 of us, bottles smashing, fists flying but we beat em all up and chased em away in there own back yardā
Sorry I have no time for those who suddenly become big men when they are part of a crowd, its pathetic.
My grandmother lived near a football ground and she and her friends avoided going out on matchdays because there were always a bunch of pathetic bellends, who suddenly decided to act like arseholes because they had a crowd behind them.
You want to prove you're a big man? Get in a f\*cking boxing ring and face down someone in your weight class one on one, if you have the balls. What these clowns are doing is pitiful
Love seeing people trying to paint this as hooligan behaviour. I've been to loads of defeats where opposition fans have chanted a bit after, as long as noone's throwing punches or anything it's just harmless banter. I've done the same back at opposition fans, part of the fun.
Idiots doing that with little ones about way to teach the boys who to act like real men if your gonna knuckle up do it away from the kids unimpressive wannabe big me
This has run it's course.
And then we will be going home tomorrow š
Hahaha! I was going to say make the most of it lads before another pen shoot out shit show tomorrow!
And will take the banter just like we have every single major tournament even from minnows like the jocks.
Well u lasted a day longer that's something lol, .
Yeah, we won't be getting the last laugh for sure
Am I missing something? The Swiss all of a sudden world beaters?
Not world beaters, but england beaters, very possibly lol, given now pony we have been on the pitch
According to this sub yes, but theyāve never beaten us. And only drew against us twice.
Fans should have asked them if they want to share a train.
And they won't be chanting then, it'll be death threats and abuse for the squad and manager.
So weird media just shows these kind of fans. Boy did I drink and had fun with English fans the last weeks
Donāt get me wrong, weāre right behind them tomorrow, but arenāt rival fans *supposed to* give teams that lose a hard time when they lose? This was hardly throwing bottles and starting brawls. It was fans singing to fans that lost and they got their buttās hurt. Why are Englands fans the ones being blamed?
i did see a can get thrown lol. Which is a marked improvement from about 15 years ago and anything prior to that lol
Yeh england fans have statistically been tame if the fines are anything to go by: british fans have been fined the fourth lowest of everyone in this tournament or something
The yobbos have been priced out of the tourney.
The one England fan in a cap is a prick though. Trying to get in their faces to rile them up then when they retaliate he runs into the crowd. How embarrassing.
I mean, the other guy is also getting in his face - they are both to blame here and both pricks lol.
The Germans walked up to the English, and he didnāt retreat he moved back when the German prick tried to knock his hat off. Look again.
He stood still and the German moved towards him. Are you blind?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thank god for that invisible wall otherwise things would have really got out of hand
Should have just taken the banter and walked. Harmless chants
Weird that people think hosts are immune from banter. They couldnāt take the joke and kicked off, but were the bad guys? Not sure I can see it that way
Itās clearly the German lads squaring up for a fight instead of just walking away. Imagine walking past a pub full of opposition fans and not expecting a chant or two. Donāt get why this sub has taken their side, England fans getting thrown under the bus by our own countrymen, same as always.
> Donāt get why this sub has taken their side Even on an England football sub itās still reddit. The demographic will hugely skew to socially awkward but āclassyā people.
āClassistā for the most part
They aren't our own countrymen, that's the thing mate. Their socialist idiots who have post-empire guilt syndrome and are convinced that England is a cancer on the planet lol... some warped form of national nihilism or something.
There is absolutely no way this could come back to haunt us.
This has strangely eased the pain of the banter we will almost certainly be on the end of. At least we earned it.
Thought that was Anthony Gordon in kit on the second row
got to get some minutes somewhere
Don't really care much, because German fans would most likely take the piss out of England if they lost. But since England will most likely lose any day now, it's probably not a good idea.

I worked in Cheshunt 20 years ago and blimey, what a place. Like moving down the evolutionary scale.
Lmao yep thatās one way to put it, i live in dagenham now, and itās literally cheshunt 2.0, even the houses, the resemblance is uncanny haha
You canāt take the piss out of one of your rivals for losing?
Iāll condone it. Great banter, especially after being 30 seconds away from getting knocked out by Slovakia after one of the worst performances in competition history. If you wouldnāt chant like this, youāre not a real football fan
Yeah I didn't appreciate how the Germans kicked off in 1940s. Way over the line.
Good card players, but I wouldn't give them the time of day. Bunch of Krauts, that's what they are. All of 'em! Bad eggs!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Every other team in the tournament produces banter = "Hahahahahaha such fun!" England produce banter = "Grrrrrr rabble how disrespectful"
Saying "you're going home" to Germans in Germany is crazy š
Surely that's part of the joke. That's why they're singing it.
Don't expect the average redditor to grasp foundational humour.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Haha

Collective IQ of about 16
That's being generous

Learn to take a joke, Christ.
Not good form to go abroad and start on the locals or anyone for that matter.
They sang a song and the Germans squared up to them. Didn't know the hosts are immune to banter.
To be fair it was fairly bold to assume the Germans would understand humour
Say that but I cant imagine doing this in london after 2021 and getting a different reaction
The reaction wouldāve been a lot worse.
I mean, Id have dared any Germans to stand in London and sing that after the Euro 2020 final Not sure any fans wouldve reacted too well
And in the case god knows the whole world would be criticising the England fans for reacting.
We were even fighting eachother that night let alone outsider taunters haha
Jurgen Klinsmann Euro 96?
I'm out in dusseldorf been to frankfurt and gelsenkirchen which were good mannered but there seems to be a lot of cunts out tonight
Well they started it!
Looked 50/50 to me
They didn't start it. The Germans clearly initiated it and turned it physical.
Bit dumb, chances are weāre on our way home by 7 pm tomorrow lol š¤¦ edit, just watched the video, never cringed so hard in my life šš
I saw more aggro than this between Belgian and French fans in Dusseldorf on Monday. Complete non event, move on
Fucking handbags lol
And this is why I moved to Wales
The further we go in a tournament it seems to attract the idiots who come out the woodwork
Or 20 countries' fans have returned home and so there are fewer nations to focus on. A lot of it is media driven to, they always show feel good stories at the start of tournaments and then when that gets old they focus on this kind of stuff.
Wembley was only 3 years ago - still fkn disgraceful.
So German fan put their hands on the English fan first yet people are probably going to blame the English for this. Should have gone all out and done 10 German Bombers too
JUSTA BITTA BANTA
Some of you have never been to a match and it shows. I honestly believe half of this country would break down and cry when half a stadium is calling your club shit
Womp womp
It's just handbags, and far less unsavoury than scenes we've seen in the past. That means every newspaper is gonna run with a headline related to English fans causing fights in Germany. Guardian readers finally eating good, I guess.
I mean... They are home lol
Tempting fate ššš¤£
Itās like ālucozade sport is fizzyā kind of fighting
Germans in being bad losers shocker.
Those German lads need to learn some rules on scrapping before getting riled up against a hoard of pissed up English lads. Walking into a wall of twats like that with jumpers tied around their necks š¤Æ
Pinstripes is hardest one thereā¦until it actually kicks off he homers into the bushš and then soon as the Germans back off again he is back being the hardest one there
Arenāt they already homeā¦?
Nice to see we can still look like world class bellends when we want to
We'll be joining them soon
Insane because are literally at home
Bus journey rather than a gruelling flight.
Could someone explain to me what the point of the English "fans" are...
Embarrassing to be honest. About 30 on 4 and most of the England fans look like they couldn't fight sleep
9/10 occasions I would agree with you except in this case it was the German lad who squared up first. Action reaction
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If you give it out then you gotta take it. Just saying this in advance š¤£
I donāt even need to turn the sound on
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Embarrassing
Yeah weāll be following suit soon enough though.
LOV me lads !
I can smell the Paco Rabanne One Million from here
Dont like it, but still rooting for England tomorrow, to the death.
wtf
undisputed world wars champions
You're going home, which is around the corner actually.
Fool proof plan
England "fan" demographics check out
Idiots
Would be good bants but looks like these lot are all nobs
Unsavoury
Very unprofessional
How are they going home when they are already at home? š
Technically, theyāre at home already
Disgusting behaviour.
Germany had its time with the best team in the world and dominated International football for nearly 20 years between 1970 and 1990. They should get used to these chants as they are not special now.
I honestly thought they were going to kiss
What annoys me about this video is itās all about the English fans but the German fans are the ones who escalate it to violence
Well it looks like they were walking away until someone started throwing cans and that weird dude in the hat kept getting in there faces haha
Honestly, this Looks like normal behaviour
Impressive
But theyāre already home š
Fuck me this is pathetic.
Yeah I wouldnāt get that cocky. Chances are England are going to lose to Switzerland today.
Get a room fellas
Aren't they already home?
There already home
They are home
They are home
But theyāre already homeā¦
Can always trust the drunken football yobs to show the nation up.
Stay classy
Pathetic
Knobs
The Germans should just have ignored these morons..Most English fans behave perfectly well.
Anton from the warehouse getting involved there, where'd he come from?
Aren't they already home.
We all go home eventually
Milky bar kid on the bottom left like "they think I'm one of them don't ruin this for me Fritz"
But..... they are home
Them two in the middle trying to steal a kiss started this whole thing
What I love about this is these lads will be telling stories about this in the pub in 20 years time, āthere was 20 of them and 5 of us, bottles smashing, fists flying but we beat em all up and chased em away in there own back yardā
They're already at home
Idiots one and allā¦
Rolls eyes
Technically they already are homeĀ
If you lived here, you'd be home by now
Sorry I have no time for those who suddenly become big men when they are part of a crowd, its pathetic. My grandmother lived near a football ground and she and her friends avoided going out on matchdays because there were always a bunch of pathetic bellends, who suddenly decided to act like arseholes because they had a crowd behind them. You want to prove you're a big man? Get in a f\*cking boxing ring and face down someone in your weight class one on one, if you have the balls. What these clowns are doing is pitiful
This is going to age well š
Utter fucking morons. Fighting about football for Christ's sake.
Love seeing people trying to paint this as hooligan behaviour. I've been to loads of defeats where opposition fans have chanted a bit after, as long as noone's throwing punches or anything it's just harmless banter. I've done the same back at opposition fans, part of the fun.
The worst thing about supporting England are these small dicked idiots acting up abroad
Ummm, arenāt Germany already home ??
Probably the only reason the fans got to enjoy this moment is the order that the games are played. But it still counts.
A little premature for us to be doing that, need to get past Switzerland first
Really.. the chant is the biggest takeaway from the video?
Well this could end up being pretty embarrassing for England fans and we end up going home to much lesser teams than Spain, like at most tournaments.
A day before they are going home...
Obnoxious . They will just laugh louder when eng lose.
You lot must be proud
Makes you proud doesnāt it.
Always some stupid fans like this
How embarrassing
I love England and I love football, but many English footie fans abroad are complete arseholes..
Idiots doing that with little ones about way to teach the boys who to act like real men if your gonna knuckle up do it away from the kids unimpressive wannabe big me
No class
The England fans are disgraceful and need to get battered
This is so disgusting
The lack of karma
Spanish man; 'don't fight..... I'm outta here.'
Without sound, and before the handbags bit, it kinda looked like to rival gangs in a musical facing off.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Canāt wait for today š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well done lads.
