Soccer experts, i humbly seek advice about attending a euro match

So, by some stroke of luck me and a friend will soon be in Lyon and have scored tickets too the Belgium Italy match. I have never attended any match let alone a major international tie such as this and I am humbly seeking any advice any of you may be able to offer.
I am a long time lurker of this board and knew if anyone could help me out it was you guys. I am mainly wondering if it would be best to try and blend in with the supporters or maintain a semblance of neutrality. Any advice is appreciated greatly.

Shite man, you'll be fine. I went to Portugal vs Spain in Euro 2004. There was really no dedicated section and both teams' fans were pretty much mixed in. Not a problem whatsoever. These events are so heavily policed.

I went to the roma derby wearing a totti jersey and sat in a section full of Lazio fans. I got a few dirty looks and maybe they said something in Italian but it wasn't bad.
I would make sure those tickets are legit though, heard of people getting scammed at cups like this by people selling fake tickets
if what I heard is correct your name should be on the ticket and you must have the proper ID with you

Be a loud and obnoxious American. They will all love it.

Its an international tournament, not between two Balkan states so you're good no matter what you wear. Enjoy it, man!

Tell them you're an American an there to witness a fantastic sporting event. Then ask who you should root for. Then listen to their advice
Then don't cheer aloud when the other team scores.
You'll do fine.

Probably doesn't matter what you wear. Just watch out for book bags

Sounds like I'm good no matter what I do. Thanks for the replies everyone's really do appreciate it, here's hoping it's a good match.

Should be good. Tickets were probably the harder obstacle.
Just go enjoy the game. I know at premier league games you can't bring alcoholic drinks to your seats. So be prepared for that just in case.
