From beating Italians supporters to racist jibes at their own players, the English did little to cover themselves in glory with their racism at Euro 2020
Ahead of the Euro 2020 final between Italy and England, if there was one thing the entire world wanted, it was for England to be battered by the Italians.
With laser pointing antics at Kasper Schmeichel, Raheem Sterling diving, booing other’s national anthem and the ever so painful it’s coming home chant, English supporters had left no stone unturned to earn the world’s ire. And as they barged Wembley prior to the final and jeered Italy’s national anthem, it was clear the English were putting in no efforts to earn any love.
However, just when you thought you had seen the worst from the hosts, they managed to further regress. The country’s supporters managed to outdo even themselves as they hit a record low ensuing their country’s defeat in the summit clash.
Euro 2020 Racism and Racist Comments
As Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka all failed to convert their penalties, Italy managed to get their hands around the coveted trophy. Proceeding the three black players missing their penalties, it was feared that the backlash to the calamity was going to be extremely racist.

And the worst took no time transpiring as Saka and Rashford’s comments on social media platforms were bombarded with racist comments. While the country’s Prime Minister, Boris Johnson and a string of important people and clubs have come to condemn the racism, it does little to put to bed the events which unraveled.
England Supporters Beating Italian Supporters
Also, while its still fine to burn your own house, torching another’s is hardly acceptable. It least seemed to affect the deranged England supporters though who indulged in beating Italian supporters after the last whistle was blown in the premises of the Wembley stadium.

The visuals which have emanated have left the football community fuming with many expressing their utter and complete disgust towards the hosts. However, envisaging any change or remorse from the country is extremely unlikely.
