This Euro tournament is inspiring. There had been only 10 minutes of the opening game when Florian Wirtz’s goal against Scotland completely set us all off. My seven-year-old daughter covered her ears because she thought it was too loud in the stadium. But she was comforted by a badge that a Scottish fan later gave her. This is now her treasure.
Since that opening night there has been a real party in Germany. A few days later I was in Dortmund for the match between Turkey and Georgia. The atmosphere was indescribable; I’ve rarely experienced anything like it. The fans from both sides pushed their team to the limit. Even those in the main stand stood up and you couldn’t look away for a second. I’m very happy to have been there.
