Harry was told was if he lost the tongue-in-cheek shootout he would have to put on a German team jersey ... but the best they could do was a scarf.
Despite his best efforts, the Duke of Sussex was unable to restore national pride on Sunday when he was thrashed by Boris Pistorius, the German defence minister, in a TV shootout.Prince Harry, 38, followed in the footsteps of Stuart Pearce and Gareth Southgate by missing spot-kicks during the appearance on German television.
He took a total of six shots but failed to score a single goal. Handing the ball to Pistorius, he joked: “This one is rubbish.” As no German football jersey was to hand, the duke put on a local German football scarf instead, earning a round of applause and a loud cheer. Meanwhile, Pistorius addressed criticism that the Games glorified war, saying: “On the contrary – it shows the horrors of war. Soldiers are role models who show how you can fight your way back into life with sport.
