They'll underestimate the Italian national anthem at their peril - they'll start off booing loudly, then soon tire as it goes into it's second minute, and then the great white shirted, face painted hordes will start to tire as they run out of breath - bit by bit - and slowly fall silent. As they look at their watches, waiting for the music to end, the Italians will be playing their long game. England fans will run into breathing difficulties from long-booing syndrome; older beer-bellied fans will start to wilt at the knees, as Bonucci and Imobile turn up the volume. The anthem will creep towards it's 3rd minute, as the booing is replaced by collective wheazing, and, as the crescendo is reached, instead of loud clapping of the Italian operatic performance, panic will be heard in commentators' voices around the world as they relate the heroics of St. John's Ambulance staff unfolding before them - rescusitating stricken English idiots who wrongly thought that the double-covid jab would offer protection from the effects of this terrible, largely hidden syndrome.They should just sit back an admire a great national anthem….
But they won’t :(
