An England fan, Dan Thomas from Swindon, faces double disappointment after England’s loss in the Euro final. Before the final match, Dan was so confident in England’s victory that he got a tattoo celebrating the win. The tattoo features the Euro trophy with the text “England Euro 2024” above and the word “Winners” below.
Following England’s semi-final triumph over the Netherlands, Dan expressed his optimism to The Mirror, saying, “I thought England would get far, so it’s come as no shock. I’m pretty confident. I think it will happen. I wouldn’t have got it done if I didn’t think it would happen. I think it will be close and I think it will be 1-1, but go to extra time. I think we’ll win 2-1 at extra time.”
Sadly, Dan’s prediction came true, but not in England’s favor. Spain secured their fourth European Championship title with a dramatic 2-1 victory over England. Mikel Oyarzabal’s 87th-minute goal dashed England’s hopes, despite a valiant effort from substitute Cole Palmer, who had equalised in the 73rd minute.
Dan’s premature celebration is now a lasting reminder of England’s ongoing struggle to clinch a major trophy.
