12+ hours in an abandoned airport in Lybia after our plane was diverted whilst descending. Lybian government rescinded our approved landing in Benghazi with no reason. They’ve locked the airport gates and left us without phone connection, food or drink. All to play mind games.

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.
Final countdown to kick off for @OptusSport!
Buzzing to be in my hometown supporting my home nation! Born in Berlin, raised as an England fan here.
THE FINAL IS HERE 🇪🇸🏴
Is football coming home? Or will it jump on the plane to Spain?
We’re LIVE from Berlin to get you ready for the #EURO2024 final!

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.
It's knockout time!!!

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...
Stay tuned for some strange AI pics of us, lots of football chat and some German food tips!
It's the Countdown to Kickoff!
