It was terribly unpleasant for me when almost all the players of the English team together and demonstratively removed the silver medals of the championship from their necks. This was a clear disregard for the competition itself. I understand their offense, but the game is the game, and the silver award is also very honorable.
Regarding this incident ... A couple of weeks ago I came across an interview with Harry Kane in which he stated that if the English team did not win the Cup with all their privileges, it would be the biggest disappointment in English football,
(what he probably meant by privilege was a lightweight tournament path, games at Wembley, and a stellar line-up). Therefore, perhaps with this gesture, the British simply emphasized the depth of their failure. By the way, the loss was also overshadowed by the attacks of the fans, who focused on the fact that only black players -
"Rashford, Saka and Sancho" - did not realize their strikes.
The three guys who played brilliantly all summer plucked up the courage and took the initiative in the moment when it was needed. They deserve understanding and support, not the dastardly racist insults that continue to this day. If you insult someone on social media, you are not an England fan, we don’t want you to root for us.
