The Euro Cup began and has left all kinds of scenes, between controversies, great goals and even curiosities. On this occasion, the striking image of the day was presented in the middle of the match between Romania and Ukraine, for date 1 of group E. Outside the Allianz Arena, a group of fans were present with the Colombian National Team shirt, which attracted attention and caused surprise.
Of course, there was an explanation. The fans themselves, who wore the ‘tricolor’, spoke and took it with humor. In fact, they dared to make one or another joke, saying that Néstor Lorenzo’s team had not won a place for the Euro Cup, which is impossible. In addition, they made reference to the similarity in the colors that both nations wear (yellow, blue and red).
“They are our brothers on another continent; We are Latin and I respect Colombia because they did not qualify for the Euro Cup (laughs). I’m sorry for Colombia, I’m sorry for Colombia. But we carry them in our hearts. And we have the same colors. Come on, come on, come on, Colombia,” said the fans of the team led by Edward Iordănescu. It was a pleasant time.
Let us remember that the flag of Colombia is yellow, blue and red, with horizontal stripes, while Romania has blue, yellow and red, but vertical. Therefore, their similarity and the decision to have worn the clothing of the ‘coffee’ team, in the match against the Ukrainians. Color, party, fun and football, we are experiencing the Euro Cup, which is being held in Germany.
