Ahead of the World Cup semi-final taking place tonight, fans from both Argentina and England boo their opponents’ national anthems during pre-match ceremonies. Reports say Argentine supporters jeer so loudly that England’s “God Save the King” is drowned out. The same coverage describes England supporters then booing Argentina’s anthem before kickoff.
Both outlets characterize the noise as a coordinated display of hostility targeted at the rivals’ songs, occurring in the same pre-match window before the teams begin playing. The accounts focus on the sound and crowd behavior rather than any officials’ response or disciplinary action.
No additional details about arrests, sanctions, or statements from football authorities are included in the provided summaries. The incident is presented as part of the wider atmosphere around a high-profile semi-final, with supporters using booing to disrupt the national anthem performances.
