ENGLAND fans are making the most of their time abroad with a spot of German sightseeing - ahead of the epic Euro final tomorrow. Berlin is teeming with Three Lions shirts as 50,000 supporters are predicted to fill the 71,000 Olympiastadion for the dramatic final clash of the tournament against Spain . Iconic sites including the Brandenburg Gate and Friedrichstrasse have seen England fans arrive bearing the St George cross, showing their national pride in hopes their team will become Euro champions.
One supporter, sporting a red England shirt, showed off her own skills with a football beside the gate. Others took selfies or raised their arms with glee as they were photographed holding St George cross flags and wearing Three Lions merchandise ahead of the game. Some were seen enjoying a drink in the sun at the Reichstag Euro 2024 Fan Zone.
While many people are taking sensible routes to Berlin to arrive in time for the match, three England fans from Stoke-on-Trent are taking an unusual approach after a joke in the pub escalated. Pals Ryan Brooks, 31, Ashley Nicklen, 30, and Jordan Kelly, 29, set off at 2am today so they can be in the German capital for tomorrow night's huge showdown with Spain. The trio were watching the Three Lions' semi-final win over the Netherlands in Ricardo's at Stoke City's bet365 Stadium when they joked about travelling out for the final to sample the atmosphere.
Ryan, from Etruria, told Stoke-on-Trent Live he thought nothing more of it until he woke up.
