    Then, as former Danish international Brian Laudrup helped make the draw at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Jarvo repeatedly rang the phone from his hotel a mile away.
    The 31-year-old YouTuber said: “There was a security guard there checking people’s accreditation, but we just walked past and he didn’t pull me up.
    “You’ve just got to walk in like you own the place and are meant to be there and get past them fast.
    “There were a lot of people there but no one asked what I was doing.

    “I rang it late that night to make sure it hadn’t been found and when it came off it was the best feeling — seeing their reactions was hilarious.”
    Jarvo, from Gravesend, Kent, pulled the same prank on Match of the Day earlier this year.
    And after repeating the feat on Saturday he celebrated by partying until 6am — then missed his flight back to Stansted today. More

    England’s path to Euro 2024 final revealed but one slip up in the group and it could turn into a NIGHTMARE

    England kick-off their tournament against the Serbians on June 16, and four days later they clash with the Danes in Frankfurt.
    Gareth Southgate’s will then hopefully seal their spot in the knockout rounds against Slovenia on June 25.
    England are firm favourites to top the table after their very friendly draw, and would be set to play the best third placed team from Group D/E/F.
    SunSport reckon that it could be one of Austria, Czech Republic or Slovakia.
    READ MORE ENGLAND NEWS
    Progressing from the last 16 would set up a potential tie against Italy in the quarter-final on July 6.
    The game would be a rematch of the Euro 2020 final, which the Italians won on penalties.
    However, the holders’ route to the quarter-final is far from straightforward and they face a group of Spain, Croatia and Albania to navigate.
    England could then play France in the semi-final, giving Harry Kane a chance to get revenge on Les Bleus after his missed penalty in the 2022 World Cup quarter-final.

    In the final, the likes of Germany, Spain, Portugal could be the opponents.
    But one slip up by England in the group stage and it could lead to a nightmare path to the showpiece in Berlin on July 14.
    Coming second could create a clash against bitter rivals Germany in the last 16.
    And it doesn’t get any easier if the host nation are beaten with Spain potentially waiting in the quarter-final.
    England are then most likely to face Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal in Munich in a battle to reach the final.
    Should Southgate’s men come through the nightmare path, it could set up a clash for the trophy against France. More

    It was being broadcast live on BBC2.
    The commotion started just as David Silva was picking out Switzerland as the final team in Group A.
    And the former Manchester City star did not know where to look as the erotic-style noises could clearly be heard echoing around the Hamburg arena.
    Presenters, including stunning Esther Sedlaczek, did their best to carry on through the disruption, with Uefa bigwig Giorgio Marchetti acknowledging: “We have some noises.”
    However, Rangers and Denmark icon Brian Laudrup struggled to keep a straight face on stage as the draw continued.
    While Germany team boss Julian Nagelsmann seemed to be trying to suppress a giggle when the camera panned to him.
    It soon emerged that the stunt was pulled off by infamous British prankster ‘Jarvo’.
    He previously hit the headlines in January last year when he played an identical prank on Gary Lineker on BBC1’s live coverage of Wolves vs Liverpool in the FA Cup.

    On that occasion he had hidden a mobile phone to a chair in the Beeb’s studio with the sound set as its ring-tone, and continually called it.
    It appears Saturday’s prank was the same.
    Reacting to the prank on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: “These guys are so composed I’d be losing my s***.”
    A second said: “Jarvo is such a menace lmao.”
    A third said: “Wtf was that noise during Euro 2024 draw.”
    Another said: “Naah this man is unstoppable.”
    However, some fans were not happy with the antics and slammed “Jarvo” for the act.
    One fan said: “Grow up you imbecile.”
    Another said: “Ruining big occasions aint funny.”
    One simply wrote: “What a loser.”

    The question on everyone’s lips
    Before any major tournaments, pundits up and down the country often wax lyrical about how England are one of the favourites to win the competition.
    Having seen the draw, which is favourable to the Three Lions, the same question now rears its head.
    We will have to wait to see if Gareth Southgate can get hold of his first major trophy as a manager, or whether selfies will be as close as he comes.

    Group F: Turkey, Play-off winner C, Portugal, Czech Republic
    Southgate confident of England’s class
    After having a draw that seems to favour the Three Lions, Gareth Southgate said it was a group that ‘on paper’ his team would be favourites for.
    While he did say that football never pans out as it seems, they would have to work hard to ensure they achieve their aims.
    Between now and then, it will be interesting to see if he continues with his current plans with the group of players he has.
    Scots focussed on task at hand
    Speaking from the draw in Hamburg, the Scotland manager spoke about how he felt:
    Nice to open the tournament, nice to be involved in that first game and hopefully we can set the tournament off with a good match. We’ve got to make sure it’s not about the occasion and it’s about the match. We look forward to it, it’s an exciting draw. I don’t think it mattered who we were going to get, it was always going to be exciting for us.Steve ClarkeScotland manager
    Spain handed tough task in Euros
    Having topped their group ahead of Scotland, Spain will face Albania, Croatia and Italy.
    That throws up the potential of one big side being eliminated in the group stages.
    After having had an awkward qualifying thanks to the Scots and Norway, it gets no easier for the three-time champions.
    Wales set mammoth task for Euros
    Robert Page’s side must beat Finland in their playoff, then beat the winner of Poland versus Estonia.
    Should they manage to navigate the playoffs, they will be in a tough group in the tournament itself.
    Wales would be in Group D along with France, Austria and Netherlands.
    Scots kick-off Euro 2024 tournament
    Scotland will play in the first game of the competition as they face hosts Germany.
    They also have Hungary and Switzerland in their group.
    It holds no fears for Steve Clarke’s side who must fancy they could upset an underperforming Germany.
    Three Lions get favourable group draw
    England will face Denmark, Slovenia and Serbia in their group.
    It is a draw that will see Gareth Southgate’s side as heavy favourites to top the group.
    The draw also means that should they prosper and win the group, they will not face another group winner until the semi-finals.
    Southgate’s side will open their campaign against Serbia.

    England

    Some big hitters in this pot, whichever group they are drawn in, they will be favourites to qualifying.
    Tartan army looking forward to draw
    Despite appearing in the last tournament, Scotland fans had no guarantee when the draw was made whether they would be there.
    The Scots had to qualify via the play-offs so fans will enjoy this one far more this time around.
    Steve Clarke’s side dominated their group and sat top for the majority of qualifying before finishing in second place behind Spain.
    England hoping to break their duck
    Gareth Southgate’s side will be looking to etch their name in history.

    Welcome to the Euro 2024 draw
    It has been a hard slog for the teams who find themselves in today’s draw, but now it all seems worth it.

    The tournament itself is being held in Germany so we can expect some impressive stadiums hosting the games.
    As the draw itself takes place in Hamburg today, the tension is already beginning to build.
