A “VISIBLY DISTRAUGHT” woman stormed past a security armed with a submachine gun onto the Germany Under-21 team bus to accuse them of stealing BEER MUGS.

And it seems £35m-rated star striker Nick Woltemade and Co’s thirst for success has got the better of them.
Germany secured their spot in the showpiece by thumping France 3-0 on Wednesday at Kosicka Futbalova Arena.
Now explosive reports in their homeland have revealed that afterwards they were confronted by one of the stadium’s VIP hostesses on the team bus.
The fuming woman, described as being “visibly distraught” and having “her makeup smeared by tears”, stormed the coach as staff and players waited for the few remaining stars to complete post-match doping tests.
The lady marched straight past a security guard armed with a submachine gun and four stewards to board the coach and headed straight for boss Di Salvo, who was seated near the front.
She then pulled out her phone and began taking several photos as the Germans looked on in total bemusement.
The mugs, worth €3 each, were believed to have been provided for the match officials to enjoy some post-match fluids.
Instead, 15 of them went missing and stadium staff were quick to point the finger of blame at the German players.

A stadium supervisor told BILD: “German players simply stole around 15 beer mugs. They probably think it’s all free — but it isn’t.
“That’s why my employee ran onto the bus. She wanted to take photos as evidence.”
Germany denied all accusations of theft and instead claim that somebody else, not associated with them, must have removed the mugs.
U21 press officer Markus Beer said: “It was all completely different. The woman had brought several beer mugs into the catacombs, presumably for the referees. Then later, empty mugs were there, which were suddenly gone.
“Someone must have thrown them away. She obviously thought our players had simply taken them. But that was definitely not the case.”
It remains unclear whether the mugs were eventually recovered by the distraught woman and staff at the Kosicka Futbalova Arena.

But Lee Carsley and his England side will be going all out to ensure it is Woltemade and his pals who look the mugs at the Stadion Tehelne Pole in the Slovakian capital.
And hopefully it will be them crying into their beer steins later should our boys lift the European Championship for a second-consecutive time.
