While English and Russians fight in Marseille, Irish are just having a good time in Bordeaux, France
At the end of the football/soccer match, because of the rain, Irish supporters went to find shelter under a bridge. As they were blocking the circulation, the French police tried to convince them to leave.
Instead of leaving, the crowd started to sing, using the music from "Go West" (The beach Boys):
"Stand uuuup for the French police, stand uuup for the French police...!"
and "Allez les Bleus!"
Trying to seduce to police into letting them stay
"Les Bleus" means "The Blues" and is the name of the French national soccer/football team
The French police reaction
The cops are filming them and laughing.
Using a megaphone, after telling them dozens of time to please, go, a policemen starts to sing:
"Go hoome, for the French Police!"
He is then joined by the crowd itself!
After some negotiations....
.. the supporters get to stay under the bridge, but have to make some space for the circulation.
The crowd begins a wave as a tramway passes.

Somehow, this makes me smile.

Nobody is perfect, but being Irish is damn well good enough.

Proud to be Irish!

It's a damn shame that Americans aren't civilized enough to do this kind of thing, and I'm American
Munchman347
That's why god created us Irish, somebody's got to turn all that beer into piss...

The English and the Russian fans should be ashamed- this is how true fans should act- maybe drunk and loud, but at least not aggressive...
ForestLibrarian
This is bloody fantastic.

I remember the last time I stood in front of an Irish crowd, what a Sunday that was!

Someone would have been pepper sprayed if this was the USA. :(
wonder89
Because they would be acting destructive and violent here,maybe?

I love the Irish at ECs, so much respect for true supports of the game. I hope you kick some Italian ass next match. (1/2)
TogepiSnow
Hopefully we'll have rematch later in the tourney. Much love from a Belgian (2/2)

Go West was first recorded by The Village People IIRC. It's been a common template for football chants since the 90's.

TIL It explains other videos that I've seen, thank you :)

Any source? Id like to see the movie of this with sound.

Yup, I left the link of the video in the description. Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRG85zPboso&ab_channel=FASTFOOT

I thought they said Sky go for the french police, because the policemen couldn't watch the game.

Yeah but you will be the first ones to surrender if there's ant conflict.
JonTargaryenKingoftheAndalsandtheFirstMenLordoftheSevenKingdoms
Are you talking about the French or the Irish?
imahoaxnacoach
The french! Bad joke I guess.
imgurisfornerds
Yeah but then I mean, who wouldn't surrender to a conflict involving ants?
biolologist
If this happened in America they would have been gassed...

Oh i like the irish. The best banter from them so far (against svedes):“youre shit, but your girls are fit!” :-D

Ive always wondered. What's the Mexican food like, in Europe?
RepostFromLastWeek
Like Chinese food in Europe. Ruined to make it more acceptable to Europeans.

Asking the real question here. Well I've never been to a Mexican Restaurant in France but we have the Old El Paso brand which is pretty good
imgurisfornerds
There is also one Chipotle in Paris. Never been to it, though. But I would definitly love to try real local Mexican food, it seems so good!
LilyF
I live in the UK and never even seen a mexican restaurant.
lambaroo
there's one in belfast

I've had lunch at a Burrito Loco in Prague. Haven't had burritos anywhere else, but I'd say they're damn good.

I spent a few months in italy, and all I wanted was mexican. Not great, honestly. Salsa isnt spicy and stuffs just not quite right.
ClockworkSerf
Absolute garbage, but not their fault. Mexico's half a world away. I'm pretty picky about Mexican, being half Mexican and from California.
magneticmagic3
If you're not from the south in the USA, it's pretty much the same. If you're used to real Mexican or Tex-Mex, Europe's is shit.
Ipoststuffififeellikeit
not necessarily. I found a hole-in-the wall mexican food place run by people from mexico in Paris. Suprisingly good (from texas myself)
magneticmagic3
But so are some places in the USA, so it's not Europe's fault.
assbad
Yeah, I live in Houston. I was just curious. Ive had some garbage in Colorado and NY that they called tex mex.
Obsidian3
dude, NY's "Mexican" food is the absolute worst.
