Watch an over-enthusiastic French fan mistime his hand clap as the camera passes over him during the celebrations following France’s Euro 2016 semi-final win against Germany last night.

As the hosts progressed to the final, Iceland’s chant, that has made such an impression on the tournament, was adopted as the team celebrated with their supporters following the final whistle.

Despite looking markedly more focused than many of his fellow fans in the surrounding seats, staring into the camera, the man gets it wrong at the crucial moment and will now always have this recording to remember it by.

Watch the French fan’s hand clap struggle in full in the clip above.

One user said what we were all thinking:

@mochachocaweewa hope you pressed a button on your remote in time mate

… and this guy:

French crowd is doing Iceland's chant. Still, not the first time the French crushed a small nation and robbed their culture. #GERFRA
