ED SHEERAN was all smiles as he watched England’s nervy 2-1 Euros win over Slovakia from the stands.
The ginger crooner, 33, donned a Three Lions shirt while taking in the action at the AufSchalke Arena in Gelsenkirchen.
Sheeran appeared to be fixated with England’s stunning comeback win as he sipped a drink.

Sheeran is a massive football fan and is regularly seen at Ipswich Town fixtures.
He joined in celebrations when the Tractor Boys sealed promotion to the Premier League under Kieran McKenna.

They failed to find a leveller before half-time, with fans booing them off the field.
And when England emerged after the break, they had not made one single sub.
The Three Lions managed to get back into the game quickly, with Phil Foden slotting home from Kieran Trippier’s pass.
But it was given as offside, leading to groans of disappointment from supporters.
