Well show Germany at Euro 2024 that we can behave, vow England fans
The Guardian England football fans have vowed to travel to Germany in large numbers for Euro 2024 and show that idiots wanting to provoke trouble in the host country are a minority.
There were fears that some of Englands travelling fans would try to cause trouble next year after some fans sang the theme tune to the 1955 British war film The Dam Busters during last weeks match in Italy. During the match some fans also chanted about the death of Diego Maradona in an arena known for its devotion to the former Napoli player who gave the stadium its name.
England face Ukraine at Wembley on Sunday in their next qualifier when they will try to build on last weeks 2-1 victory their first away win against Italy since 1961. If they make it through the qualifying round they will fly out to Germany next year for the Euros, the first time the nation has staged the UEFA European Championship since its reunification, and its first major tournament since the 2006 World Cup. During that competition 200 England fans were arrested after rioting in the main square of Stuttgart.
