Revealed: England stars’ WAGs and families were drenched in beer after fans launched cups, sparking angry confrontations, after Slovenia draw

Relatives of some of England’s players were left drenched in beer after angry fans threw mugs at the end of the Three Lions’ disappointing draw with Slovenia.

Mail Sport understands that a group in the lower tier of the Cologne stadium exchanged angry words with those sitting above them after the final whistle of the 0-0 draw in which plastic cups were also thrown at coach Gareth Southgate.

It is not believed that the players’ partners and friends were recognized or attacked.

Rather, the fans simply tossed their drinks into the air and they landed on each other, getting a little soaked. The group sat at a general entrance to the grounds on the opposite side of the tunnel and bench area.

The allowance for family and friends for Sunday’s round of 16 match against Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen has not yet been delivered.

England fans threw plastic cups at Gareth Southgate after the tepid draw with Slovenia.

When he lands, security officials in England will assess him and see if he needs to be moved elsewhere.

At a meeting today between local authorities and UEFA it was decided that, as Mail Sport reported yesterday, low-alcohol beer would once again be served on site.

The move, which will see low-strength 2.8 per cent beer being served on the ground, is unlikely to be welcomed and England’s support will be praised for its behavior throughout the tournament.

Instances of beer throwing, including the incident with Southgate, are believed to have played a role.

The FA is expected to be fined for “object throwing” by UEFA.

Police expect most English fans to stay in Dusseldorf before the match.

Normal strength beer will be served in a fan area on a racecourse about 4 km above the ground.
