Leading German newspaper mocks Queen Elizabeth
Queen Elizabeth was mocked by a leading German newspaper ahead of Euro 2020 match between Germany and England.
According to a report, "Bild" newspaper removed the name of the Queen from the English national anthem as it took a swipe at England.
Creating new lyrics for the English national anthem, the paper substituted the monarch for references to Gareth Southgate and Stuart Pearce's penalty misses, alluding to England's history against German team.
The newspaper also included goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in the lyrics.
Meanwhile, English Coach Gareth Southgate said England’s past defeats to Germany at major tournaments have no bearing on Tuesday’s Euro 2020 last-16 game and his players will go into the match focused on their own performance.
England have not defeated Germany in the knockout match of a major tournament since the 1966 World Cup final, losing at the 1990 World Cup, 1996 Euros and 2010 World Cup, the first two defeats coming after shoot-outs in the semi-finals.
