Scottish Bloke Interviewed As Sweden Fan Live On Sky Sports Before England Euro 2022 Semi-Final

A Sweden fan interviewed live on Sky Sports turned out to be a Scotsman who just wanted England to lose.

England and Sweden met in the Women's Euro 2022 semi-final at Bramall Lane on Tuesday night and a Sky reporter wanted to capture the atmosphere beforehand in Sheffield.

He chatted with Sweden supporters and asked if he could talk to one chap about the game. But then as he started talking in a thick Scottish accent and said, "I think it'll be a very touch match but I think Sweden will win 1-0 or 2-1"- it became apparent that he was not from Scandinavia in the slightest.

However, he was draped in the Sweden flag, wearing a yellow top and with the country's colours painted across his cheeks.

The journalist immediately clocked on and commented, "That's not a Swedish accent!".

That prompted the individual to reply, "Naw, a little bit north of the border! I couldn’t support England, could I?!”

Irrespective of Sunday's final, the team have made massive strides for the women's game and inspired young girls in the country.

"Whatever happens in the final now, if girls are not allowed to play football just like the boys can in their PE after this tournament then what are we doing?", Wright said on BBC.

"We've got to make sure that they are able to play and they've got the opportunity to do this because it's going to inspire a lot of people.

"Like there's no legacy to this? It there's no legacy after this then what are we doing?

"Girls should be able to play because this is as proud as I've felt of any England side. This is what it's about."
