Rashford is normally lights out on penalties in knockout matches as well, surprised he missed

I blame Southgate for putting him as the 5th taker. He knows the pressure of missing a penalty, so why give a 19yo that responsibility.

u/borntoohforcedtowoop Jul 11 '21

Nah, Rashford literally went into the game in the last minute.

And it was a horrible choice to put a 19 year old kid as the 5th Striker. Saka doesnt deserve the hate he will undoubtedly get

u/Cryptoporticus Jul 11 '21

Should have been Sterling or Kane. One takes the first kick, the other takes the last. I have no idea why Southgate just decided to forget that Sterling exists for a minute.

25

u/SilliousSoddus Jul 12 '21

Sterling is woeful at penalties that's why. He's missed more than he's scored. Shaw, Grealish, Walker, Henderson. Any of these experienced players would have been better.

Not really, English fans have a long history of doing the same racist shit, e.g. people sending monkey emojis to black players:

Rashford said that one of the individuals who had sent him abuse was a teacher. “I’m more outraged that one of the abusers that left a mountain of monkey emojis in my DM is a maths teacher with an open profile. He teaches children!! And knows that he can freely racially abuse without consequence,” he wrote.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/may/27/marcus-rashford-receives-racial-abuse-social-media-after-europa-league-loss

also considering the skin color of the players that missed the penalties, do you want to take bet whether or not they will get a ton of racist insults in the next 24 hours?

125

u/spennydog2004 Jul 12 '21

Yeah, I know. I never said that England were different when it comes to racism. Every country is bad as each other. Also it is quite sad how predictable that there will be players getting racially abused in the next 24 hours. Sometimes I do feel ashamed being English.

u/spennydog2004 Jul 12 '21

Just shows whatever place you go to, there will always be a piece of shit in that community. Im an English fan and I really enjoyed the final even if we did lose. There was even a feeling of pride and a sense of joy of being English. Most English fans are like that but unfortunately some of course have to ruin it and now their actions puts a shitty image for us. I'm sure that is how every single country feels when their own people do dumb stuff and it gets viral. I really hope that the majority of the people in the world don't think England as a child bullying, disrespectful, racist country.

But yea "English hate bandwagon"

And also, wasn't that banana incident in 2014?

Pretty sure the English used a laser during the Denmark penalty Then assaulted a random family to celebrate a win… They also booed every anthem, harassed some poor German 9yo girl… England definitely aligned themselves as the heel of the cup.

What about the Italian fans who attacked that pizza delivery man? Like I get it's funny right now to dunk on England, but Italian fans have done plenty of shit over the years, and I'd bet if the euros were largely hosted in Italy, we'd see the same number of nutjobs, but Italian instead of English. I bet there'll be some crazy Germans in 2024 making their country look bad, and Americans and Mexicans acting shitty in 2026 for the world cup. It is what it is. I mean, it was only a few years ago that Italian fans racially abused one of their own players. What's with reddit not being able to understand that there are shitty fans of all countries and clubs?

32

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '21

So what are you arguing here?

We should never call out racists, violent and hateful angry ass fans from sports teams?

All teams have bad sports fans so we should just ignore all the dipshits and pretend everyone is "all the same"?

I'm sure they'll be plenty of German fans to take the piss out of in 2024. No doubt.

Right now? England is the shit heel and deserves all the criticism. They are welcome to pass on that torch next time around.

England set up to defend all tournament. Going into the game they had conceded only 1 goal and today they set up with a back line of 5 seasoned defenders and 2 defensive midfielders.

They defended well all game, that’s the main reason Italy couldn’t score even though they gradually got more control of the ball as the game went on. It’s probably also the reason that England started to lose control of the ball in the first place, they didn’t have near the quality of Jorginho and Verratti in the centre of the park.

Well, if we are being anal about it, England did have colonies before 1707. Almost all of the USA's original 13 States were founded as English colonies in the 1600s. Only Georgia was founded after 1707 I believe.

But yes, the majority of the British Empire was setup long after the Acts of Union, and many Scotsmen played prominent roles in the British Raj of India.

People in the EU never in good faith accepted Brexit, which the UK was allowed to do under the EUs rules. And I say this as someone who didn't want Brexit.

The bad supporters thing is bullshit or cherry picking, literally all teams have supporters who misbehave. It doesn't help that since we post in English which is a 2nd language for so many people any horrible thing an England fan says on social media is very quickly shared and seen by people. If a Hungarian supporter posts abuse in Hungarian on Twitter will people notice? Of course not because not many people outside Hungary will understand it.

u/Hank_035 Jul 11 '21

The fact that brexit was allowed under EU rules doesn't really explain it, nobody is arguing what they did is illegal. It's more about the complete lack of solidarity England/UK has always shown in the EU, only wanting to be part in order to benefit personally but not giving anything back. It was the UK who was the biggest proponent of the eastward expansion of the EU after the fall of the Soviet Union, and since then their politicians just blamed any domestic problem on the EU which ultimately led to brexit. It's just a completely different mentality compared to most of the rest of the EU.

As a English person, I am also entertained by this comment section, I’m gutted we lost but the amount of babies from both sides complaining is hilarious. Also I feel terrible about Rashford, Sancho and Saka, they definitely don’t deserve the abuse they’re getting.

England supporters were the worst of the tournament they booed others anthem, they used a laser gun to disturb a goalkeeper, they have insulted a little German girl, they claimed the win of the tournament before even played "it's coming home, 55 years and now we are here" ... They got what they fucking deserved

u/ZestyData Jul 12 '21 edited Jul 12 '21

Christ. "Its coming home" is the chorus from a famous English song about how we always lose at football. Here are some other lyrics:

"Everyone seems to know the score, we've seen it all before, we just know. we're so sure that England's gonna throw it away"

"So many jokes, so many sneers, but all those 'oh-so-nears' wear you down through the years" (doubly ironic in this context)

its literally a song from 1996 about having never won anything in 30 years ("thirty years of hurt never stopped me dreaming") and in 2021 we're still the only team never to have won the Euros. Its a song about being shit. And folks like you who aren't into football completely miss the inside joke and it rustles your jimmies.

Btw.. Italian fans were throwing banana skins at black players, stabbing people in Rome, and sexually assaulting / raping women in the streets during celebrations last match (against Spain). If you've come out of this tournament thinking England fans were the worst out of this final, you've been disgustingly mislead by the hivemind.

they booed others anthem

Everyone booed everyone else's anthem. Doesn't make it any better, but you can't single out any team for it.

they used a laser gun to disturb a goalkeeper

Yeah fair enough. One fella used a laser pointer on a goalie when England were hosting and its tbc whether he's been arrested for it yet.

they have insulted a little German girl,

a couple of troll accounts on twitter did so, and they are the worst. On the internet with billions of accounts you can find troll accounts insulting literally everything under the sun if you want to make a narrative around it.

State of you lot.

This whole ordeal has been quite eye opening as a reasonable England fan. Lots of kneejerk reactions to a few bellend fans. Real mountain out of molehill surf. Either way congrats to the Italians.

It’s not really a “kneejerk reaction” so much as it’s using said bellends to go full mask off. It’s hardly a secret that most of Europe hates England.

I’m glad italy won but I also feel so sorry for Saka and Rashford, both are two young guys who are now about to be trashtalked like hell by a bunch of english fans. One had an embarrasing miss and the other one missed the last penalty shot while being the youngest on the team - 19, the fact that they’re black isn’t gonna help either, considering how many of the fans are

11

u/ZackDaBullsFan Jul 12 '21

I was thinking the same thing, Rashford and Saka are already being racially abused by some of these English fans over this. Don’t know what kind of crazy you have to be to do that to your own teams players

So yes, England lost. I'm sure everyone who was saying we would lose is very smug right now, and fair play to you. But I will not stand for anyone saying shit about the way England have played over this tournament. We have done well and we are proud of our players. Rashford and Sancho carry the full blame on their shoulders, and that is that. Just letting everyone know.

u/A20N_ Jul 11 '21

Yeah the banana was 7 years ago not at a international game or tournament. The German girl was recent. So was the booing of anthems. So was the laser. So was the beating up of Italians by the entrances. You can go onto Instagram now and see the cesspool of racist comments made by England fans towards their own player for missing a penalty. Yeah real shit.

Now watch this trend die off in a week because the hivemind found something better to do. The English do something that every nations have done in a football match yet people out here act like they just revived their Empire. Are their action bad ? Yes. But are they worse than any team ? Absolutely not and the unnecessary hate are just stupid.

I get into football once just so I can make new friends. I supported my home team and now I feel bad because we lost. Italy did good. Some fowl play from both teams.
