Two England Fans Fight Before Hugging After Realising They Supported the Same Country
The ongoing Euro 2024 tournament has seen its fair share of drama and excitement, but what happened in Albufeira, Portugal, takes the cake. A video surfaced showing two England fans engaged in a heated brawl outside a bar, only to realize they supported the same team and end up hugging it out.
The incident occurred after England’s semi-final win over the Netherlands, with thousands of fans descending upon the town to celebrate. According to reports, the National Republican Guard intervened to stop the violence, which resulted in no arrests or complaints filed.
This isn’t the first instance of fan-related violence during the tournament. Germany’s Sausalitos bar was trashed by Dutch fans, and there were reports of minor injuries and arrests in Dortmund.
The UK Football Policing Unit has issued a statement, urging fans to be aware of their surroundings and seek areas with a German Police presence. "We are aware of some reports and videos circulating of disorder in Dortmund," they said. "It appears that there have been several instances of Dutch fans attacking England fans in bars and attempting to steal flags."
Social media users have been reacting to the video, with some praising the fans for showing love and respect towards each other. "The look of love at the end is beautiful. Straight out of Romeo and Juliet," said @RepublicOfWales. Others couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. "And there’s the respect," tweeted @billyboxing2.
However, not everyone was impressed. "Idiots," tweeted @CarlHurmson. "Looks like a average night in me local," added @Ashonthebash22x9.
As the tournament continues to heat up, fans are advised to prioritize their safety and respect for fellow supporters. Let’s hope that the remaining matches will be free from violence and drama.
