From role model calling for poor children to be guarenteed at least one meal a day to vilan for missing a penalty

What really gets to me (other than the blatant racism) is that if he had committed a crime like domestic abuse but went on to score the winning penalty, the very people who did this would be making excuses for him now and blaming it on his wife/girlfriend.

Our notion of what's important and what defines someone is really messed up.

I'm ashamed to be English today... and it has more to do with what has been happening off the pitch than on it.

I'm disgusted in my fellow English people.

@HootyTheNightOwl don’t be ashamed just because a small minority of ignorant folks painted themselves in a poor light.

@JoeyFoxx What's to be proud of??? A pack of animals smashing places up??? How about that guy breaking into Wembley and beating up a teenager??? Or the idiots that are now racially attacking Marcus Rashford, who went above and beyond in the Covid fight???

Animals in the zoo behave better than this... then, people wonder why the Netherlands is saying that the Dutch don't want us in Amsterdam anymore...

@HootyTheNightOwl why do you choose to allow them to represent you?

@JoeyFoxx Just look who's blasted all over the worldwide media right now... I bet it's not the guys who shook hands with the Italians afterwards and said that the best team won...

@HootyTheNightOwl It was the same here in Portugal during the Champions League final.

@HootyTheNightOwl so then, be ashamed for the fuckups. Don’t be ashamed for the majority reaction.

England was fortunate to even have a chance at penalties, considering they were outplayed for most of the match.

The reaction has been, by and large, appropriate. Take the idiots to the woodshed. But do t be ashamed of your country.
