TonSweet Caroline as National anthem It has a lot of emotional significance for England’s Euro 2020 campaign. Neil Diamond’s hit song in 1969 described a love that unexpectedly took off in spring and blossomed in summer. Its single quality combined with lyrics captures the repressive desire for collective happy experience-after so many people have gone through so many bad experiences, “never been so good” good times. Then there is no pressure, Gareth.
Before Saturday’s quarter-final against Ukraine, the events on the court laid the foundation for the pride of Scotland and Wales and the optimism of the British. Although there were mistakes in the game against the Czech Republic and Croatia, face England and Scotland live up to fans’ expectations assertion They can “Boogie”. Wales was eligible to advance to the knockout rounds, but met Denmark, which had soared all the way to the late stages. Following the terrible moment of midfielder Christian Eriksson’s cardiac arrest in the first game, Denmark became the second team of most people in the game. At the same time, England’s victory over Germany was a moment of catharsis in sports. Temporary bandages have now been used for 55 years of injuries. On July 11, victory in the Wembley final will bring healing.
Perhaps the most exhilarating thing is that from the point of view of the British, the stupidity and unnecessary anger of the team’s decision to kneel before the game has become history. On Tuesday night, before the German game, a small group of people who started booing were immediately overwhelmed by cheers and applause.Boris Johnson and Priti Patel, Secretary of the Interior, they all helped Fire up The controversy before the game misunderstood the national sentiment and the present. Gareth Southgate’s open letter in defense of the players was full of wisdom, but he did not. Raheem Sterling suffer To the shameful slander and abuse related to race in his career, he is England’s best scorer and star player so far. For the most racially diverse players in the history of England, everything is now related to football.
Ukrainian supporters have their own concerns and memories of victory and despair.The Soviet team Played In the Dutch starting lineup in the 1988 European Cup final, Ukrainian coach Valery Lobanowski and 7 Ukrainians. When the Soviet Union disintegrated a few years later, Russia was listed as the successor to the Soviet national team, winning honors for past successes. The Ukrainians had to start from scratch. Victory over England and advancement to the semi-finals with yellow and blue national colors will be their best achievement so far.
If England wins, they will play the semi-finals and finals at Wembley Stadium, a few hundred yards from where Sterling grew up. Every major international event will tell its stories and songs. For England, it has already done so. Hope this ride will not end on Saturday. In the words of this song: “Where did it start, I couldn’t start to know/but then I knew it became stronger and stronger/in spring/spring became summer…”
