WATCH: France, England fans unite for touching tribute to UK terrorist attack victims
Props to Les Bleus for this awesome gesture
England and France have several things in common, and one of them is the love for soccer. Sadly, they both fall under the category of countries that have been targeted by deadly terrorist attacks in recent times as well. Just under two years ago, these two teams got together at Wembley in a friendly where there was a moving tribute to honor the Paris attack victims.

On Tuesday at the Stade de France, the hosts returned the favor. Check out these lovely scenes, which show the players walking out to Oasis classic "Don't look back in anger," playing by France's Republican guard. The song was a nod to Manchester, hometown of Oasis band members and brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.
