Can't believe I just caught this on video. Parachuted into the stadium, got caught in the spider cam and nearly crashed into the crowd. Hope he's ok! #GERFRA #EURO2020

Born in Berlin to an English and German parent. Grew up supporting the three lions. My dad warned me I'd suffer as an England fan. This is a dream come true in the perfect setting.

German police urged Türkiye fans to avoid making the wolf gesture that got Merih Demiral banned. Certainly fell on deaf ears in the Berlin Olympiastadion. Turkish supporters making a good amount of noise but Netherlands have the more impressive colour coordination.

Great Portugal fan block again for the quarterfinal in Hamburg. France have brought some drummers and nice flags at least...

Initially disappointed that our platform wasn't in the Portugal block but the Slovenia fans have stepped up! Cracking atmosphere in Frankfurt.

I love these fans! Georgia lighting up Cologne and all of Euro 2024. Cheering every single tackle like a goal.

Best fan block at Euro 2024 so far... Portugal! Love their chant and they've got the feel of a proper league side "Fankurve" as we call it in Germany. Impressed in Dortmund against Turkey but so did the Georgia fans...

Back in Dortmund to see Turkey again after stops in Stuttgart and Gelsenkirchen. Portugal fans making a decent amount of noise now. But Türkiye will take over soon. Deafening support.

Turkey atmosphere fell flat today. Portugal block was rocking and easily won the battle on the pitch and in the stands.

Stay tuned for two Germans getting a bit too excited about tupperware at the end!

Georgian fans have broken through barrier of their section in one corner of Dortmund stadium. Small scuffles broke out with Turkish fans. Turkey supporters have now retreated and riot police are re-establishing the barrier. Situation has now calmed down. #EURo2024

Met some Scotland fans yesterday. Luckily they thought I was Australian! Plenty of optimism ahead of the #Euro2024 opener against Germany!

Munich, Scotland. The Tartan Army has taken over ahead of the Euro 2024 opener against Germany. And the fans are fairly optimistic they can sneak a win.
