An England fan had an unexpected nap during last night’s lackluster match against Slovenia, only to wake up to boos at the final whistle.
Freddie Hahn, 32, from Crawley, found himself dozing off in Cologne, picturing England’s Euro victory in his dreams before reality hit hard.
Freddie, a pensions manager who splurged £500 on travel and hotels for the trip, opted for shut-eye during the game’s dull moments.
“It was so boring,” he said, “I thought dreaming of a win was better than watching.”
“I woke up to boos,” Freddie recounted.
“I had this nice dream of England winning, but the reality was far from it.
I’d been on the beers all day and figured shutting my eyes was a better option.”
Despite the disappointing match, Freddie, who attended with friends from Crawley Devils, his local team, refrained from booing Southgate, noting their shared hometown.
“I might even manage England someday,” he quipped.
