England lost the final of the European Championship to Italy.
It wasn't the only defeat that Sunday night at Wembley Stadium.
London - You can only shake your head there.
It should be a big football festival at the legendary Wembley Stadium.
In the end, two realizations remain: The English still cannot take penalties.
And some completely forget their good childhood - if they ever enjoyed one.
The scenes that took place before and during the European Championship * final in London are hard to believe.
There were riots even before the kick-off.
A spokesman for the stadium confirmed that "a small number" of fans without tickets had tried to gain access to the inside of the arena.
The English FA called the scenes "completely unacceptable" and "embarrassing" for the Three Lions.
According to the Metropolitan Police, there were similar attempts at the fan zone in Trafalgar Square.

According to matching media reports from London, barriers were climbed over or torn down about an hour and a half before kick-off.
Videos from Daily Mail reporters, among others, showed folders chasing breaching fans and trying to keep the situation under control.
A spokesman for the stadium initially only confirmed "an incident" at the outer security ring.
Police forces were deployed, "security measures were taken quickly," it said.
No fans entered the stadium without tickets.
The latter statement was later corrected.

The gruesome images go around the world - and of course evoke extreme reactions.
“Like the Neanderthals” is written again and again on Twitter.
In the end, the fans should have been happy when they could quickly disappear from the stadium - after all, after the last penalty from Bukayo Saka, only the Italians * cheered.
The police had previously urged fans without tickets to avoid the entire overcrowded area around the stadium.
After the storm at Wembley Stadium, at least 45 people were arrested.
This is reported by the British broadcaster BBC.
