Going Dutch...fans get ready to roar on Lions
Daily Express
|July 08, 2024
THOUSANDS of England fans will today start travelling to Germany to roar on the Three Lions in their Euro 2024 semi-final.
Gareth Southgate's side faces the Netherlands in Dortmund on Wednesday for a place in Sunday's final in Berlin.
And after the thrilling penalty shootout victory over Switzerland on Saturday after it ended 1-1 at full-time, many fans will book time off work to watch the midweek clash.
Part-time civil servant Julia Preston, 57, from Sheffield, has been in Germany with her retired husband David, 59, since the start of the tournament.
They had banked on England making the quarter-finals but feared that would mark the end of their travels. Now they are extending their stay. Julia laughed: "I'll just say 'I need another week off'. We've booked rooms in Berlin. We can cancel them - but let's hope we don't have to."
