\u201cThere is some noise here that\u2026 has now stopped,\u201d Giorgio Marchetti tentatively noted during the middle of the draw for Euro 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNo noise any more,\u201d UEFA\u2019s deputy general secretary chirped before returning to his duties as host. Yet, seconds later, the squeaky moans remerged while David Silva was doing his best to uncap a ball containing the fourth nation involved in Group A.<\/p>\n Hamburg\u2019s Elbphilharmonie hall had been the stage for a rousing operatic display from tenor Jonas Kaufmann and the bandana-clad violinist David Garrett but was repeatedly pierced by pre-recorded pornographic outbursts.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything you need to know about a prank that English viewers have seen before.<\/p>\n At around 17:45 (GMT), a moment of silliness was injected into the stiff\u00a0ceremony\u00a0which mapped out the group stage of this summer\u2019s European Championships.<\/p>\n With most of the draw already completed, high-pitched sexual moans could be intermittently heard above the announcement of each participant in the upcoming tournament. They were the same distinct screeches that\u00a0derailed\u00a0the BBC\u2019s coverage of an FA Cup tie between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool in January.<\/p>\n On that occasion, the prankster had managed to smuggle a phone onto the underside of a chair in the studio before cranking the ringer to full volume. Unable to locate the device during the programme, Gary Lineker, Paul Ince and Danny Murphy were drowned out by the deafening noise.<\/p>\n At the far bigger arena in Hamburg, the moans were not as loud. Although, they were still audible enough for host Marchetti to stop mid-draw.<\/p>\n Brian Laudrup came closest to smirking \/ Alexander Scheuber\/GettyImages<\/p>\n Whether he was adhering to a hurried bark in his ear or taking charge of the matter himself, Marchetti was the only host to acknowledge the shouts. Lineker at least made light of the incident when he was the left red-faced in January, wryly telling viewers: \u201cI don\u2019t know who\u2019s making that noise but Alan Shearer is in the commentary gantry.\u201d<\/p>\n Impressively, none of the former footballers in charge of uncapping the balls were caught reacting to the outburst. Danish icon Brian Laudrup came closest to breaking into a smirk, lacking the same mastery of his facial expressions as he did of the ball.<\/p>\n England manager\u00a0Gareth Southgate\u00a0confirmed that the noises were just about audible from the crowd. \u201cI\u2019m assuming it was some sort of a prank,\u201d the Three Lions boss astutely deducted, \u201cbut it was hard to really make out what it was.\u201d You\u2019d think that a concert hall would have better acoustics.<\/p>\n Pranking UEFA euro 2024 Draw with sex noise https:\/\/t.co\/zAo3Q1vQmk<\/p>\n
