“Nothing has changed, they have just gotten better at covering it up”
That sums it up neatly.

People always shows their true colors when things goes wrong

55 years without reaching the finals. But whining about not winning the cup. Lol 😆 So what the other guys were doing the last 54 years?

I've read so many comments from English people who claim the racism in their country is nothing like in the US. I knew they were either delusional or lying.

[monsurualashe]

This is why they should represent their motherland, win or loss we will always accept them as ours. Those countries will only claim you when you succeed and remind you you don't belong when you fail.

America doesn't have a monopoly on racism, the fact that people are still surprised by this stuff is what I don't understand.

[dianadowie]

English people are so wrong. However, everyone in England says they are not racist. Their behavior shows otherwise.

Now I see the reason why prince Harry left to protect his family from this horrible people.

She's not black, she doesn't feel the pain we are feeling. they shouldn't sugarcoat the truth

[catalinacurio]

Such a sad day for England, the underbelly of racism being laid bare, but then it’s better we know who you are…

[houseofmoments]

You know it’s bad when Americans are calling us racists

[Drigallski]

instead of the trophy, the only thing they took home was severe self-inflicted damage to their own image. and that in almost every way imaginable.

[Trish.O-qh]

Dear Lord! It’s only a sport. Get over it. Nobody is a superhuman. These men did excellent throughout their season. Good job guys! You made the finals.

[shadianaigoma]

You can never truly know a person until they don’t get what they want.

[Nextraker]

Truth is, Saka had no business taking a penalty. I’m glad England lost.

[bluebear]

This is nothing surprising or new in the uk

[angybear]

I like how a soccer game brings this to attention and not Megan Markles consistent battle with the racists and their tabloids

[tadiafoster]

Unfortunately this is the truth of European nations. They have a history of this conduct.
