EURO 2020

UEFA EURO 2020

Online Racist Abuse

How horrible is it seeing the media thriving off the the racist abuse that our players received last night? - there’s now no mention of how well our young team played in this tournament anymore.

England fans all around the world are being pointed at and classed as “racist” because some people sit behind fake social media accounts sending DMs to our players.

The thing that annoys myself personally are these fake accounts seem to be from other Countries themselves. I find it hard to believe that hundreds of English people would sit and write tweets/DMs or whatever thinking they would get away with it. Now days it’s so easy to trace someone, get their address, find out where they work etc.

Over the years of following England, seeing Jermaine Defoe score two against Holland when we were 2-0 down to seeing Sterling, Rashford etc scoring in the Euros/qualifiers, these players have sent us flying all over the terraces and we love them for it.

Roll on the away qualifiers/friendlies so that the loyal, genuine, travelling fans who love the lads to bits can continue to support them through good and bad times.

    In reply to Barry Pounder:

    Where ever they’re from or whoever they are, they’re just idiots.

    Imagine Saka, Rashford, Sancho, Sterling waking up now feeling like their Country hates them and hates them more because of who they are.

    Well if they do, they couldn’t be more wrong! without these lads we wouldn’t be the team we are today and wouldn’t have had the tournament we’ve had without them

    blogs: Graeme Le Saux: Youth or experience for second Miami test?

    The game against Honduras tonight is the final chance for a player to stake their claim for that World Cup opener against Italy next Saturday, and warm-up matches are key - just look at Michael Owen at France 98. The build-up to this tournament and that one 16 years ago is similar in many ways because there was a lot of experience in that England squad that I played in, and Michael really burst onto the scene. It was...

    blogs: David Stone: Marvellous Miami is just like I pictured it

    I've been to the US a few times before, but Miami really lives up to every cultural stereotype you can think of. It's big, bright and brash, not to mention full of hordes of identically-dressed, beautiful people. I’ve been to watch the Miami Marlins, the city's baseball team, in a local derby against the Tampa Bay Rays. While the stadium itself was two-thirds empty, the dozen or so England fans there...

    blogs: Tim Vickery: Honduras and Professor Suarez lie in wait for Hodgson's hopefuls

    The fitness of the Uruguay striker permitting, England have a date with Luis Suarez on 19 June. First, though, comes an encounter with his namesake on Saturday. Honduras are coached by Luis Fernando Suarez – a man who England fans have cause to...

    blogs: Sue Smith: Striking a balance is key during a World Cup

    Building up to a major international tournament is strange because you’ve spent so long preparing and then all of a sudden you’re playing in a World Cup – you don’t even think about it you just do your job. I would like to think...

    blogs: Marios Papaloizou: Football’s friendly fire is my favourite time of year

    Somewhere in-between the nerve-racking qualifying campaigns and the unbearable tension that surrounds a major tournament there occasionally lies a perfect storm of happy sentiment that surrounds the England team. Whether it's Peter Crouch's robot...
