Anyone who thinks booing other team's national anthems is banter, normal or clever needs to get the fuck out of football fandom.

It's NEVER had a place in the game. We don't want you. Stop embarrassing yourselves. Stop embarrassing the rest of us fans. Stop embarrassing England

"but I heard some other countries fans boo our anthem"

Fuck ooooffff.

So what. Are you a toddler? Since when has "but x did it" been a valid reason for anything.

Grow up. Be the football you want to see. You want to think England are 'the best' then fucking behave like it.

THE WHOLE WORLD is going to be watching on Sunday. You want the first impression they have of England, in their first international final since 1966, being the sound of England fans booing the Italian anthem?

Fuck off anyone who does that then claims to love English football.

It's 100% a recent thing.

You used to get a bit of booing for someone like Germany, which you can kind of understand (if not like).

But at some point a bunch of arseholes seem to have decided to try and normalise it.

Fuck that.

That's more nuanced I think because it really does depend on context.

I'll happily scream boos at someone who wronged a player ten years ago that everybody else has forgotten!
