r/soccer - [Mike Stavrou] - Gareth Southgate to England fans: Please do not boo the Italian national anthem. It’s important that our fans always respect the opposition and we know that in actual fact when we play abroad and fans boo our anthem it probably inspires us even more. It will not help the team.

It is hilarious to me. Especially when you compare the anthems, The Italian one is about dying in the Risorgimento. The English one is about what a cool cat the current monarch is. If the English had any sense they'd boo their own anthem.

    I'm guessing it has nothing to do with the country itself and everything to do with being a dick to the other team, so yeah, don't do that.
