ENGLAND supporters got more than they bargained for ahead of tonight’s crushing defeat.
The 58 years of hurt will go on after the Three Lions were beaten 2-1 late on by Spain in the Euro 2024 final.
England fans got a right eyeful as they partied ahead of the Euro 2024 final[/caption] One supporter even came over to shake her hand[/caption]Gareth Southgate suffered disappointment in his attempt to secure our first piece of silverware since the 1966 World Cup.
Those lucky enough to be in Olympiastadion had been in full party mood all day.
Excitement had been mounting back home as fans up and down the country got set for the action – but once it did then supporters were quick to spot a Southgate tactical tweak during the early stages of the game while ITV viewers were only noticing Laura Woods’ stunning outfit.
During the exciting build-up, one girl was keen to show off her own two up top.
A clip has gone viral on Instagram of a female named Rain Monroe, who has nearly 15,000 followers, decked out in tiny denim shorts.
But as a male crowd gathered in front of her, she proceeded to lift up the front of her top and give them all an eyeful.
That was met by huge cheers as she waved to her new found army of admirers.
But one spectator was so impressed with what he had seen that he even went up to shake Rain’s hand.
Meanwhile, supporters back in the UK were all switching to ITV for all of the big match build-up.

And they also had former Spanish attacker Juan Mata alongside them after the Euro 2012 winner was added to the line-up late this week.
Meanwhile, on the other channel, Mark Pougatch was on hosting duties from Berlin.
They were able to call on the expertise of Manchester United legends Roy Keane and Gary Neville while ex-Arsenal and England ace Ian Wright.
And it seems that their panel was the one most people said they were tuning in to pre-match.

“A real dilemma ahead. I’ve switched three times.”
A fourth wrote: “When it comes to the football, I feel like ITV have the better pundits but the BBC have better commentary.”
