The French love to boo. It’s all pantomime, but it’s the same in pretty much every sport. Heck, even the fancy pants Rolland Garros crowd will cheer/jeer based on basically the following order:
Locals
Underdogs
Pantomime villains based on a historic sleight that nobody even really remembers anymore.
Based on the above, I don’t find it strange that England were the fan favourites for the local crowd.
