England can learn from 'joyous' and 'courteous' Welsh fans, says Telegraph writer

An article by Telegraph has offered English fans some advice on how they can emulate the Welsh fans in a World Cup. The piece, written by Welshman Chris Bennion, was published ahead of Wales game against England on Wednesday in the group stage of the tournament in Qatar.

Although the newspaper's TV editor did not "entirely [rule] out Wales's chances of beating England' in the highly anticipated match, he did acknowledge that the "dream [could] be over" for the men in red. As a result, he offered ways in which England fans could learn from the "joyous" and "courteous" Welsh fans of the tournament.

The writer noted five key things to learn, which was for the fans to enjoy themselves, be good tourists, connect with their culture, have an anthem they could "belt out" and find their own Michael Sheen. During the article, the writer praised the Red Wall as "one joyous, bubbling, close-harmony-singing wave of joy, drinking in every moment as they go". He then went on to suggest to English fans to "enjoy being at the greatest football tournament there is".
