9:19 am: Three English players victims of racist insults
We start with a bad story. Already not very nice with the Danes and then the Italians, the English supporters managed to do worse with their own players. The three kids sent to the pipe breaker by Southgate on the penalties (Saka, as well as Rashford and Sancho who had not yet touched a ball) are victims of numerous racist insults on social networks. In a statement, the English federation said it was “dismayed” and “disgusted”, and supports its players.
We’re disgusted that some of our squad – who have given everything for the shirt this summer – have been subjected to discriminatory abuse online after tonight’s game.
We stand with our players ❤️ https://t.co/1Ce48XRHEl
