England football songs battling it out for top spot on the terraces as fans move on from the ‘disrespectful’ and ‘stupid’
fans start up a round of 10 German bombers in the Gelsenkirchen piazza, another nearby group chimes in: “shut up” is their contribution.
“A decent fan just walks away when they hear 10 German bombers starting,” said Ashley Brown, 55, a retired firefighter from north London. “It is just boring and disrespectful,” added another England fan in his 50s. “I came here in for the 2006 World Cup and it changed my mind about the Germans,” he said. “They’re lovely.”It is unlikely to be the final flight of 10 German bombers but there are some signs its popularity is waning.
Favourites in the early days of the 2024 Euros tournament include a tribute to the Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden to the tune of Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen. “Can’t start the fire, can’t start the fire without a spark, Phil Foden is on fire, running through the middle of the park”, they sing.
