England’s goalscoring hero Bukayo Saka had a moment of lightheartedness during a training session. After hitting a great shot on the golf course, he was met with cheers from his teammates. However, his celebration was short-lived as he tripped over a golf bag, sending him tumbling to the ground. Luckily, Saka saw the funny side and joined in the laughter.

Meanwhile, England fans are gearing up for a massive invasion of Dortmund for tomorrow’s crucial Euro semi-final against the Netherlands. An estimated 30,000 supporters are planning the “Dortmund Dash,” with many already embarking on journeys by air, car, and even ferries. This surge in travel is reminiscent of, and potentially exceeding, the excitement for the Italia ’90 semi-final.

Accommodation and travel costs are soaring due to the high demand. Airlines like Ryanair and BA are adding extra flights, and some fans are opting for the 750-mile ferry journey combined with car travel.

 

 

Memories of past disappointments linger for some fans. Thousands journeyed to Turin for the 1990 World Cup semi-final only to see England crаsh out on penalties to Germany. Security concerns limited travel to the 2018 World Cup semi-final in Russia, making this a unique opportunity for a large-scale English presence.

Ticket prices are reaching astronomical heights, with some packages reaching a staggering £25,376 per pair. Touts and resale websites are cashing in on this huge demand.

 

England is officially allocated only 10,000 tickets for the 71,000-seat Olympiastadion on Sunday, should they manage to defeat the Netherlands.
