  • Story Text: Thousands of football fans sang "Sweet Caroline" and climbed lamp posts before the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy in London on Sunday (July 11).
    The fans gathered hours before kickoff at Wembley Stadium. Many had defied a plea from London's Metropolitan Police to refrain from travelling to the city amid ongoing concerns about COVID-19 cases.
    Young men were cheered on by onlookers as they climbed on buildings and in front of security cameras. Police did not intervene while flares were fired in the crowd.
    While England have only once previously reached the final of a major tournament, this will be Italy's 10th such final.
