As the World Cup Round of 16 match between England and Serbia intensifies, the fans of both sides are in a state of high tension. The fans even dare to pay the price of their lives for their respective favorites. It is reported that the security force of this tournament will be fully upgraded, and it is strictly prohibited to bring laser pens and other interference devices into the stadium to ensure the fairness of the game.
The security is so tight because of the history of conflict between the two sides' fans. In March of this year, the World Cup outside the African Zone, the 3rd round, Senegal and Egypt's match ended in a 1-1 draw, and in the mutual shooting penalty kicks, Senegalese fans actually used laser pointers to interfere with the Egyptian players, resulting in the Egyptian team's first two rounds of penalty kicks were missed, including the Egyptian ace Mohammed Shana was hit by a laser pointer with a body covered in green dots, and ultimately Senegal won the penalty kicks 3-1, a thriller! Senegal won the penalty kicks 3-1 and won the World Cup, and was fined afterward.
England fans were no slouches either, and in the last four of last year's European Cup against Denmark, the two sides battled to extra time and a 12-yard shootout. As captain Harry Carney stood at the penalty spot, cameras caught England fans aiming a laser pointer at Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmidtgall's eyes in an attempt to impair his vision. Carney fired a shot through the net, and England went on to reach the final as a result. The behavior of these fans drew widespread condemnation and was one of the reasons for the increased security at the tournament.
