England v France

[bettercallsaul]

Technically a sports thread but tonight is about so much more.

The Famous Wembley arch has been lit up ahead of what I hope will be a great night of unity in the face of such evil.

Hope the game goes ahead, according to Sky Sports the Germany v Netherlands game has been called off amid security fears after a reported suspect package near the ground.


EDIT: Now saying security fears but no mention of a package found,not sure if thats a change in the story or just not mentioned in the update,either way the game is off.

Hope it goes ahead also. Was looking forward to seeing the English sing the French anthem.

With the reputation the English football fans have (minority I know) and the history between the two countries it would indeed be a huge sign of respect.

Can't wait for the La Marseillaise to be sung, should be better than the match.

Germany-Netherland game has been cancelled, due to some suspicious object....Merkel meant to attend to the game

A phonetic version is doing the rounds on twitter for people attending the game to sing along,here is the French anthem with subtitles:



Considering the backdrop that is a powerful anthem and I suspect the players and French fans will be emotional.

Sky Sports now saying an ambulance was parked outside the stadium & explosives were found inside.
