Euro 2022: Scottish fan rumbled on live TV before England 4-0 Sweden | OneFootball

One Scottish football fan was rumbled on live TV ahead of England’s Euro 2022 semi-final against Sweden on Wednesday.

A Sky Sports reporter was interviewing Sweden fans in Sheffield shortly before kick-off at Bramall Lane.

But when the reporter came to one man dressed head to toe in the blue and white of Sweden, he quickly realised that something was amiss.

The ‘Sweden fan’ was asked by the reporter: “Can I talk to you about the game tonight? What do you think, Sweden against England?”

Replying with a strong accent, the man said: “I think it’ll be tough, a very tough match – I think Sweden will win 1-0 or 2-1.”

Addressing the elephant in the room, the reporter said: “That’s not a Swedish accent…”

The man replied: “Ehh, naw, a little bit north of the border!

“I couldn’t support England, could I?!”

He then predicted a 2-1 victory for Sweden.

His prediction turned out to be very wrong

The temporary Sweden fan got his prediction horribly wrong in the end.

England reached their first major women’s tournament final since 2009 with a scintillating 4-0 win over the Olympic finalists.

Beth Mead put England 1-0 up before half-time before Lucy Bronze doubled the Lionesses’ advantage early in the second half.

Substitute Alessia Russo scored the best goal of the tournament with a stunning back-heeled finish, while Fran Kirby added gloss to the scoreline by netting a fourth goal.

Sarina Wiegman’s side will become champions of Europe if they defeat the winners of Wednesday’s semi-final between Germany and France at Wembley this Sunday.

What did Sarina Wiegman say after England 4-0 Sweden?

“This result will go all over Europe and the world,” Wiegman said, per The Guardian, after full-time. “It was such a performance that tomorrow everyone will talk about us. I think we have shown that we are very resilient.”

She continued: “We didn’t start well. We struggled a bit with how they play defensively. But we did better and better and the players found the solutions.

“The goal changed the momentum but I think in the second half we started playing better. We were tighter on the ball, made better decisions and the spaces became bigger.”

And on Russo’s moment of magic, Wiegman added: “You must have so much courage to do such an unpredictable and phenomenal thing like that.”
