Throughout the tournament, Avtar's shop has been clad with England football decoration, and the football fanatic is continuing the trend.
Mr Singh told BlackCountryLive: "It was a comedy thing for the local estate. I've run this shop for the last 10 years and have become well integrated into the community.
"Football has become a joint enjoyment for us all. We got together to decorate the shop and thought it would be a laugh to tape off the Italian-based foods as a joke and say they are no longer for sale."

He did point out though that customers would be able to get their pasta/pizza fix of they wanted and that the 'ban' is just for "comedy purposes."
Avtar said: "Around 99.9% of my customers have found the idea humorous and theatrical. In no shape or form is it intended to be harsh or contradictory. I'm British, love football and support the England team. It has brought the community together.
"We haven't stopped selling pasta and garlic bread it's just for comedy purposes.
"A big thank you to the Blurton Community for being supportive, crazy football fans and having a sense of humour towards my post.... COME ON ENGLAND!"Explore more on these topics:
