England fans in Germany for Euro 2024 are behaving as just 3 arrested, say police
ENGLAND fans in Germany are behaving, the UK Football Policing Unit says.
Three supporters have been arrested — but the UKFPU’s update yesterday was mainly positive.
It said: “Around 2,000 England fans were in the main city square in Frankfurt on June 19 and no major issues were reported.
“The vast majority of England fans are behaving extremely well.”
One of those arrested was detained for throwing a bottle, another for abusing a UK officer and the third for throwing a missile at police and possession of drugs.
Gelsenkirchen police previously praised the behaviour of fans in response to transport problems.
Meanwhile, England fans have slammed Gareth Southgate for his “Sunday League” tactics against Denmark.
Southgate selected Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield in a repeat starting XI of the team that beat Serbia 1-0.
Things appeared to be going well when Harry Kane tapped home a deflected Kyle Walker cross after 18 minutes.
However, Morten Hjlumand equalised with a fine strike from range after 34 minutes.
England had retreated into themselves after the opener, a fact Jamie Carragher highlighted.
Southgate made his first roll of the dice with a personnel switch with Conor Gallagher replacing Alexander-Arnold after 54 minutes.
And fans were left upset at the Liverpool star, who most often plays right-back for his club, seemingly only being selected in midfield for his passing range.
Taking to social media, one fan said: “Slapping a man in midfield cos he’s good at passing is so Sunday league lmao, how is it happening at the highest level?”
A second said: “It’s soooooo forced it’s a joke, Southgate is playing Fifa.”
