[Football] Is anyone else embarrassed by the booing of the German national anthem

[shingle]

Great result tonight, but the booing and disrespect of the oppositions national anthem I find absolutely embarrassing.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Always embarrassing but the Germans got their revenge on the swivel eyed gammons by helping out with the cheer for the taking of the knee which pretty much drowned out any booing there may have been.

The Germans were also brilliant with their flag waving at the end. We still have some way to go to match their humility and tolerance.

Agree 100%.
There is no respect these days.

Disgusting behaviour.

 

[Seaview Seagull]

It is pathetic to boo another nations anthem.

 

[KeegansHairPiece]

Massively embarrassed. But then a minority of England fans have been an embarrassment for 40 years.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Booing the oppositions national anthem, most times is an incentive for the opposition to try harder.

If l had watched the game, and heard that, l would have been very angry indeed. A shocking thing to do.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Yes. We have a bunch of brain dead Neanderthals that follow our national team. It can only help the opposition.shame they can’t be excluded from attending matches.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I wouldn't boo myself, as I don't give a shite. But equally I don't give a shite about other fans booing a national anthem.

It's just a national anthem. Why does anyone give a shite?! I would prefer if they weren't played at all to be honest.

It shows a total lack of respect.

 

[Weststander]

Rugby Union internationals are normally classy, but the Welsh at home boo some national anthems and break a taboo by always booing opposition place kicks.

Yes, I find it cringeworthy, classless.

Probably the same muppets booing TTK.

What can be done? Brain cells cannot be imported.

 

[Mancgull]

It probably needs a high profile England player to ask the fans to not do it. Show some respect. It's just so unnecessary and reflects poorly on us as a nation.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Football is pantomime. Some people taking it way too seriously.

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

I actually enjoyed the booing of the German national anthem.
The fans at Wembley were the best I've seen in years.
The fans today we're unashamedly patriotic,loud,raucous,passionate and incredibly disrespectful and hostile to the opposition.
Exactly how Wembley should be.

 

[Icy Gull]

Most wanky behaviour goes over my head, I was embarrassed to be English when that booing started. Despicable lack of respect

But I am old school, so probably out of touch

 

[Icy Gull]

Respect for what?

If you need to ask, it’s a waste of time trying to explain how some of us feel.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Shameful

 

[Shooting Star]

No.

Want to see childishness? European nations never giving the UK a point in Eurovision.

 

[Kosh]

It takes the shine off, you know, dulls the sensation of sweet victory to know that I'm of the same species as a clinically obese xenophobic animal with his top off... fists clenched in an impotent rage, spittle projecting, drunk, sun burnt cretins one and all.

To be honest I was embarrassed listening and watching some of our fans, akin to caged beasts - totally ungracious and heading for a fall after the lords mayors show leaves town.

Mark me, the boulders are already rolling - it's too late for the pebbles to vote.

So if GOSBTS was permanently booed by opposition fans, what then

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Always embarassing.

England fans the worst thing about the English national football team.
