EURO 2024: ENGLAND FAMILIES HIT WITH CUP AIMED AT SOUTHGATE


 The friends and families of England players were hit by beer cups in the stands after England's 0-0 draw with Slovenia on Tuesday.

England had already qualified from Group C ahead of the game but fans rounded on Southgate following a disappointing performance.

Defender Ezri Konsa said the families were hit "from all angles," getting covered in beer. It is reported that the families were not targeted and the plastic cups were aimed at manager Gareth Southgate.

"We were aware of it because I think some of our family members got hit with a few drinks." Konsa said.

The matter has not been discussed between Southgate and the players after the match in Cologne.

"We check on them. There's kids in the stands with family so we always have to check on them, reassure them and ask if they're all right.

"In football stuff like that happens."

The cups had come from fans all around the English end of the stadium after Southgate's side failed to score in 90 minutes.

"It was coming from all angles," Aston Villa's Konsa said after his brother got hit.

"We try not to think about it too much so we move on."

Southgate said in a postmatch news conference: "I understand the narrative towards me and that's better for the team than it being towards them.

"It is creating an unusual environment to operate in, I've not seen any other team qualify and receive similar [treatment]."

England topped Group C with five points and will face Slovakia in the round of 16 on Sunday.

LAZIO FAN ARRESTED FOR HITLER SALUTE AS SUPPORTERS SING FASCIST SONGS IN MUNICH BEER HALL


 MUNICH (AP) — One Italian fan among about 100 Lazio soccer supporters who sang fascist songs in the beer hall where Adolf Hitler founded the Nazi party has been arrested and fined for giving a Hitler salute.

Munich police spokesman Michael Marienwald told The Associated Press on Tuesday that an 18-year-old from Italy was issued a four-figure fine after police were called to the Hofbräuhaus beer hall late Monday.

Marienwald said the police were looking at further action against more individuals after a large group of Lazio fans were filmed in the beer hall singing about the Blackshirts, the paramilitary wing of Italy’s National Fascist Party.

In a video published by the La Repubblica newspaper, the fans finished the song by chanting “Duce! Duce! Duce!” in reference to former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, an ally of Hitler. The fans appeared to be giving fascist salutes.

Hitler founded the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, better known as the Nazi party, with a speech in the same beer hall in 1920.

The Lazio fans were in Munich for their team’s Champions League game against Bayern Munich on Tuesday. Lazio won the first leg of the last-16 tie 1-0 and was bidding to reach the quarterfinals.
