BOO ARE YA?
‘You know it’s bad when…’ England fans in hysterics as Gareth Southgate’s side are booed off by KIDS in Italy draw
ENGLAND and Italy played out a 0-0 draw at Molineux this evening - and the 2,000 or so kids in the stands were not impressed.
Polish referee Szymon Marciniak's final whistle was met with BOOS from a number of the young England fans lucky enough to be inside the stadium.

The chaos that marred last year's Euro 2020 final meant this game was played behind closed doors, although children accompanied by an adult were allowed in.
And those that were in the stands were not afraid to make their feelings known at full-time.
Some of the youngsters who excitedly took their seats 90 minutes earlier hoping to see Gareth Southgate's stars score at least once loudly booed when the dull stalemate finally came to an end.
Not the entire 2,000 odd school kids jeered the Three Lions off the field, but there were audible boos from the stands at Molineux.

One wrote: "Hahaha did the primary school kids just boo that England performance."
Another said: "When kids boo at the final whistle that says it all."
A third user added: "Booed of by a bunch of kids. New low for England…"

While a fourth pointed out: "You know it’s bad when school kids boo at full time."
The Three Lions largely dominated proceedings, but could not avenge last year's Euro 2020 final final defeat to the Azzurri.
Mason Mount rattled the bar in the first half, before Raheem Sterling somehow guided Reece James' pinpoint cross over from four yards with the goal at his mercy.
Southgate and Co are still yet to register a win in their Nations League campaign, having drawn to Italy and Germany after losing in Hungary.
The Hungarians are the visitors to Molineux on Tuesday, although this time the stands will be full.
And Southgate will be hoping his side are not met by boos from the 31,700 capacity crowd, as that would inevitably sting a lot more than a few jeers from primary school kids.
