Went to Wembley last night. Enjoyed the evening (I'm not English, although I was supporting them, so wasn't too bothered about the result ...) Thought the German fans were great - very vocal, musical and showing a good sense of humour (singing England songs in an ironic sort of way ... You only sing when you're winning, Football's coming home, Arsenal etc). Thought the England fans were pretty rubbish. One smallish singing contingent - mostly about German bombers and the RAF from England shot them down - and the loudest noise seemed to be during the German national anthem. Seems very childish. When my pupils start dissing the other houses during sports day I tell them to support their own house louder. Makes more sense. Wish the England fans had been doing that. I was shouting a bit and wanted to sing, but I could hardly start off the singing, and I couldn't sing "I'm English till I die" because I'm not.
Other than that, a fun evening, but very wet!
