Families of England Players Targeted by Beer Cups 'from All Angles'

Konsa mentioned that while players were aware Southgate had been targeted, they had not discussed it among themselves or with him. Reports indicate that the players' partners and friends were not deliberately targeted by those throwing the cups.

"We were aware of it because I think some of our family members got hit with a few drinks," Konsa said. "We check on them. There’s kids in the stands with family so we always have to check on them, reassure them and ask if they’re all right."

Despite the incident, England topped Group C and will face Slovakia in the last 16 on Sunday. Konsa acknowledged that such incidents can occur in football, stating, "In football, stuff like that happens." He added, "My brother was hit, and a few others. I spoke to him afterward, asked how he was, and he said he was fine. It was to the right of the stadium, not directly behind the goal, but it was coming from all angles. We try not to think about it too much so we can move on."
