WATCH: There were a couple of silly facepalms before England’s Euro 2016 opener

Smooth operators

Ben Kiely

Worst. Fist bump. Ever.

The match officials inadvertently entertained the masses of football fans tuning in. Prior to kick-off, the gang all got together to engage in one of the more embarrassing pre-match traditions.

All the hands went in… then 3, 2, 1… break!

It was all a good hustle until the official on the far left showed that he was the perfect antithesis of a smooth operator by majestically making a balls of the fist bump.

And before that moment of hilarity happened, there was a balls up with one of the people who were given the very simple task of holding up a giant letter on the field.

It’s not that difficult.
