At around 4am in Germany, an England fan still wearing the England team jersey shared a funny video, which received a lot of attention. This person said that he had just woken up and was at the Veltins-Arena - the place that witnessed England's minimal victory at EURO 2024 against Serbia (June 17).

This fan was shaking because he searched around and found no one. Tens of thousands of fans had left, and security and stadium management were also absent. Meanwhile, the gates of Veltins-Arena were also tightly closed, with no way out. After posting the video and complaining, replying to many comments, this person… went back to sleep.

Millions of interactions quickly appeared. The England fan was confused, not knowing why he was stuck at the Veltins-Arena despite increased security from German police. Speaking to the camera as he panned around the empty Veltins-Arena, the man said: "I just woke up, I don't know what to do. I'm shaking on the Schalke pitch. There's no one here, it's terrifying."

The Guardian reported: “Temperatures dropped to around 14C in the early hours of Monday morning - June 17. Fans complained about the cold he felt wearing a hoodie. A 62,000-capacity stadium with no stewards or staff, but surprisingly the floodlights were still on.”

Under the post, many England fans began to comfort the man. Calvin Addison wrote: “How did the security leave you? It’s unbelievable. Thousands of police were there, tens of thousands of fans came to watch the match and no one noticed you? Don’t panic, I think you should go back to sleep and wait for the morning. Maybe the stadium security will come soon, you will be able to go out.”

Meanwhile, Ducan questioned the authenticity of the video because it was too unbelievable: “The stadium floodlights were still on at 4am, which is suspicious. But I think you fell asleep because you drank too much beer! Germany is famous for its passion, beer and delicious food. When you go to the stadium to cheer for your favorite team, drinking beer and getting drunk is inevitable.”

In England, the video also quickly appeared in all the newspapers. Many sites such as The Sun , The UK , Daily Mail ,... assessed that it was the England team's lulling style of play that made the fans fall asleep in the stadium, forgetting to leave.

"England, with a squad worth more than a billion pounds and reaching the peak of their career, have never played such a boring match. They scored an early goal but struggled to attack on the opponent's field and then started to huddle back on the home field to defend. In the remaining 80 minutes of the match against Serbia, that happened to England. Perhaps boredom is why this man fell asleep at the Veltins-Arena stadium," commented the British newspaper Mirror .
