Ach, was gäben wir dafür, dieser Tage in England zu sein. Die Euphorie im Land scheint mit den Händen greifbar zu sein. Endet das lange Warten auf den zweiten WM-Titel nach 1966 am Sonntag? Doch bevor es im Final gegen Frankreich geht, muss heute (20.00 Uhr) erst noch die Hürde Kroatien übersprungen werden.
Um ihren Support auch tausende Kilometer entfernt auszudrücken, tragen heute viele Engländer eine Weste. Nationaltrainer Gareth Southgate hat dafür gesorgt, dass das Kleidungsstück gerade schwer angesagt ist. Westen-Verkäufe schiessen derzeit durch die Decke und sind in manchen Läden bereits ausverkauft. Der Halbfinal-Tag wurde zum #WaistcoatWednesday ausgerufen – und diese Bilder posten die Fans von sich mit Weste:
