You won’t see it unless you see a screenshot as they’ve been removed overnight by Twitter/FB etc.Yet to see any racial abuse myself but seeing a lot of articles about how racism has happened. Is the media stirring the pot and trying to cause anger between different races??
Unfortunately there probably is a minority of the fans that are racist but I do hope we aren’t all painted with the same brush as I’ve seen nothing but love for all the players equally, no matter their colour.
Yeah it was sadly there soon after the game and the screenshots exist. It never stays up for long, but I think it needs to be acknowledged when it happens. I like the sentiment of focusing on the good, but racism needs to be called out too.Ah okay, no doubt there is but wish we could focus on the good! Those scum bags want a reaction and to hurt people.. the boys played their best and we had a great tournament! So proud!!
The more I see it the more mad I get - dirty dirty playing.Still fuming at the way Saka was pulled down by a Chiellini
I'm not convinced that really works with social media, it give engagement and attention to the tiny minority who get promoted by the algorithm and gets pushed to a huge audience. It rewards them and encorages more.racism needs to be called out too.
If you look at the live tweets that were done seconds ago there really is next to none of it being posted now.You won’t see it unless you see a screenshot as they’ve been removed overnight by Twitter/FB etc.
Report and scroll works on an individual level. There's a much wider societal problem and that can only addressed at a societal level.I'm not convinced that really works with social media, it give engagement and attention to the tiny minority who get promoted by the algorithm and gets pushed to a huge audience.

Absolutely. Players in that England team and every other would and have made the same type of foul. Taking one for the team is normal.Regarding Chiellini's foul. It wasnt a red as per the actual rules of football, it would only have been a red had Saka being going at goal. It was a yellow.
I think after someone found a poster's LinkedIn and everyone started tagging their employer, it's probably scared a few people into deleting what they've said or just keeping their vile thoughts in their head, especially now they will be sober.If you look at the live tweets that were done seconds ago there really is next to none of it being posted now.
Are you meaning you don't see that sort of thing happening in the Premier League? The style of refereeing on the continent (and this Euros) is different to England, they allow a more flowing game so relatively 'innocuous' things fly, whereas in England if you dare to look at someone the wrong way you're pulled up for it which makes play completely fragmented at times.Some of the fouls Italy committed were proper old school dirty tackles, shoves, pulls etc that you never see any more, because players started to get red carded for them, so they stopped happening. I've seen a lot worse fouls in these Euros as a whole than I have for a long time, not sure why that is?
That said, we did take a couple of dives too when there was absolutely no contact with an Italian player.
It's rare that the losing team don't do that in knockout football finals these days. Guess they don't want to be reminded of the rawness of their defeat at this moment, but I suppose they may learn to treasure the medal in time..Why did they take the medals off? I thought that was a bit childish.
I kind of understand why they would take them off, but at the same time they’re the first team ever to make it to a Euros final so getting that medal is a symbol of that achievement. I think the way they lost really added to the emotions as it was a very close game.It's rare that the losing team don't do that in knockout football finals these days.

Anyway, onwards and upwards...Olympics next week. Plenty of great sport to watch and hot athletes (male and female) to ogle
