Trafalgar Square Transforms into a Sea of Joy as Goals Flow Against Ukraine
As England faced Ukraine in a thrilling quarter-final match, excitement surged through Trafalgar Square just four minutes in when Harry Kane found the back of the net at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico, located 1,000 miles away.
An announcement echoed over the loudspeakers, reminding fans of the socially distanced event guidelines, urging them to return to their designated tables of six. However, these pleas fell on deaf ears as a wave of second-half goals ignited a celebratory atmosphere not seen in the past year and a half due to the pandemic.
With Harry Maguire scoring shortly after the second half began, the crowd erupted in jubilation, embracing one another and spilling drinks in their excitement. Moments later, Kane added another goal, leading to unrestrained joy as fans rushed to celebrate under the giant screens.
Despite the cheers, a warning flashed on the screen, informing the ecstatic supporters that the broadcast from Rome would be muted unless they complied with the seating guidelines.
