"Nati" or "Nazi"?
It sometimes sounds strange to German ears when Swiss football fans sing "Super Nati". The Berlin police were made aware of the dangers of Swiss fan chants on Saturday during Switzerland's round of 16 match against Italy. The officers were explicitly informed that the exclamation "Nati" as an abbreviation for the Swiss national team sounds like "Nazi", the Berlin police confirmed to the German Press Agency. A reporter from the "Berliner Zeitung" had first reported this on the short message service X. In the past, the exclamations had sometimes caused confusion among outsiders.

And Denmark's Morten Hjulmand scored against England from 28 meters, the greatest distance for a goal so far.
