Their audience went to a concert instead of watching our biggest match since the Italy final. Fair enough, they can do whatever they like, but the people that went to the concert obviously aren't really bothered about the football.

More like stage managers choice, than the band....... That said, the killers are an epic band and are bigger in the uk than than the states. A lot of their early videos were filmed in London and Brandon was always a gent at his concerts. He doesn't have an ego.

This is why they are one of the greatest! It’s not just another show or crowd for them. They care about the people and actually live in the moment with them. A lot of artists these days are just in ground hog day ticking each gig off to get to the next. Respect to these guys!

I gotta say, their timing on picking up the start of Mr Brightside after the whistle was sublime. That little pause for breath, then into a big feelgood song.

I've never seen a band stop a concert and show a sporting event on a big screen, amazing!

A masterclass in understanding your audience.

Ok firstly the killers are my sort of band but I was there with my hubby I got him tickets for crimbo,last yr but I can honestly say that was one of the best experiences of my life watching 20,00 plus people raising their hands as the whistle went in complete unison it was good of the band to do that but boy it was everything and more looking round the arena at that moment gave me chills and I may have got a bit emotional .

And for the first time in a long time, English football fans are seeing the Brightside!

That’s very generous of The Killers and beautifully choreographed. The Rolling Stones didn’t do that at Wembley Stadium , July 4 1990 when England played West Germany @ Italia90. We were relying on fans in the directors boxes signalling down the score when it went to penalties. Weird when a cheer went up mid song, then found out we’d lost. Quite surreal.

The UK is so back. Love it

The power of music! What a moment for England, and then to be able to celebrate with such an iconic song with a stadium full of your fellow humans. I teared up immediately! Now let's take Sunday!
