Germany defender Jerome Boateng said his wife and five-year-old twins will not go to France to watch him play in the European Championship finals because of terror fears. Boateng was in the German team playing at the Stade de France in Paris on November 13 last year when a series of jihadist attacks left 130 dead.
Suicide bombers tried to get into the stadium. "Each person must decide for himself how to deal with it. I have already done so," he told the weekly Sport Bild, adding that his decision was that "my family and children will not be coming to the stadium. The risk is simply too big."
