Adele is proud of her country. On Sunday evening (July 11), the singer took to social media to support her home team following their loss to Italy in this year’s Euro final.
“You made us so proud! You brought our game home and brought us all together,” she wrote alongside a delighted selfie wearing an English football shirt and long fingernails decorated with miniature versions of the English flag. (Which, for the record, is only a third of the Union Jack, the flag of the whole of the United Kingdom, with its red cross on a white background.)
Like many Britons, Adele has been following the football championship – which has been postponed from 2020 due to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic – closely, celebrating the team’s semi-final victory last week over Denmark. “IT’S BLOODY COMING HOME,” she wrote at the time, using some really excitable ten-flag emojis as she leapt up and down, screaming in celebration over the final 2-1 score.
Adele wasn’t the only famous English face supporting his team, either. Prince William, Kate Middleton and young Prince George attended the final match in person at Wembley Stadium in London, marking the Duchess’s second public appearance after her self-isolation after being exposed to COVID.
Now, if we could just get Adele to post her follow-up to 25 … check out her sports selfie below.
