England sent their fans – and WAGs – into despair and boredom after a disappointing 0-0 draw with Slovenia in last night’s crunch Euros clash.
The Three Lions were met with fury from supporters for the second game in a row, following their abysmal display against Denmark, as they limped through to the knock-out stages following a drab performance in Cologne Stadium in Germany.
Enraged fans threw empty beer cups at manager Gareth Southgate and booed the team off the pitch during their lap of honour. Supporters were seen making obscene hand gestures and shouting at the coach as he applauded the supporters – while the boring match appeared to send others to sleep.
The players started strong and kept possession of the ball in the first few minutes of the game, before Bukayo Saka’s disallowed goal left the Captain Harry Kane’s side nervous for the remainder of the clash – wasting countless opportunities to score.
The match had been overshadowed by yet another distracting off-field WAG drama after Kieran Trippier’s wife sent a cryptic social media post and unfollowed him on Instagram. The England camp has been trying in vain to keep a lid on stories about Kyle Walker’s marital blow-up to allow the vice captain to concentrate on his football after both wife Annie Kilner and ex-lover Lauryn Goodman attended the last game versus Denmark.
Tripper’s home life was thrust into the limelight hours before the clash when it was revealed his wife Charlotte, 33, had posted on Instagram: ‘Sooner or later you get over the s*** you swore you’d never get over and it’s the best feeling in the world.’ Hours earlier, Charlotte post a short film of herself enjoying ‘some calm’ before the school run on her Instagram story, which she has since deleted. The video showed her in a dressing gown looking into the camera pensively
Last week, England’s draw against Denmark was overshadowed as Lauryn and Annie both showed up to watch Walker play.
Yesterday’s match left devoted fans wondering if they would continue to cheer on Southgate’s men after making the costly journey to Germany to support England.
England had already made it through to the last-16 stage with a game to spare, but last night’s match means they will avoid France, Spain, Germany and Portugal – and will either face the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Turkey or Georgia at 5pm on Sunday.
