The absolute state of Leicester Square as England fans tear it up

England fans have predictably gone a bit over the top in the build up to the Euro 2020 final, throwing beer bottles as Leicester Square descends into mayhem

We regret to inform you that England fans are at it again

England play Italy in the final of Euro 2020 tonight. For some reason, the game kicks off at 8pm, giving England fans the entire day to get absolutely plastered.

Fans have travelled from all over the country to enjoy the pre-game atmosphere in London ahead of the game which will take place at Wembley.

Leicester Square became an unofficial fan park this afternoon. The beers were flowing, fans were singing, but unfortunately, a minority did stoop to some unsavoury behaviour.

As the video below shows, glass bottles of beer were thrown across the square.

It beggars belief that some fans can’t seem to enjoy themselves without putting the safety of others at risk, but that is the world we live in.

Needless to say, England fans are well up for the game tonight, and they don’t all behave like this.

We took to the streets of central London earlier to ask England fans two questions: would you die for England? And would you take winning the Euros tonight if it meant you never had sex again?
