An ‘embarrassment’ for England - Manager Gareth Southgate on team playing behind closed doors
Gareth Southgate says having to play a home England match behind closed doors because of poor fan behaviour is an “embarrassment” which is “not a good optic for our country”. Next month’s Nations League game with Italy at Molineux will not have a crowd present, following a punishment from UEFA for supporter behaviour before and during the Euro 2020 final between both sides last summer. Ad/> The Football Association was issued with a two-game ban on fans, with one match suspended for 24 months.
