There were no boos in the middle of the period of silence in honour of the victims of the violence in Israel and Gaza ahead of England’s friendly match against Australia on Friday night.
The sell-out crowd at Wembley observed the 20 seconds’ silence immaculately, despite concerns from some that it could be disrupted by booing from individuals who took offence to the FA’s decision not to light up the Wembley arch in the colours of the Israel flag.
