No matter where you are, Racism isn’t too far away.

When black players score the fans are colourblind, but when they miss the colour of their skin is the *only* thing seen

[mezomoza]

That was my first thought when all the black players missed penalties, the horrible fans will have a hay day

[spooogey]

And you wonder why people are still taking a knee. Incredibly sad

0:12 It's Bukayo Saka, not Bukaya Saka.

You dont just cheer for your team when they win. You also cheer for them when they loose. Because they gave it their all. Even if it was a white man that miss all 3 shots and the entire black community did the same thing. vice versa you cheer for them because they got you that far. R.I.P.

One positive from this awful situation: the mural of Marcus Rashford which was vandalised with racist terms was quickly covered in hearts and supportive messages from local people and has now been restored/ repainted by the artist. I'd like to think that these represent the majority of English people as opposed to the racist morons.

I was told england had 0 racism. Guess not.

[aadilahmed]

Honestly, did anyone not expect this from them.

[TokenBlackman]

Are any other black folks, honestly, shocked by these negative reactions?

[CdoubleJ]

If anything Rashford, Sancho and especially Saka did so well during this tournament. These youngsters have so much potential. It's just a shame some people are willing to abuse them based on a mistake. Football is supposed to bring people together not encourage more abuse. Well done England you made the true fans proud 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤

[nightlegend]

This is why they lost, this team doesn’t deserve a Victory

[zainzoala]

Racists footballer's fans mind " If you score you are one of us, if you don't, your are not us, it is all your fault because you are foreigner black brown immigrant. Lol 😂😂😂

Race doesn’t affect the way you take a penalty ❤️

[kadiangraham]

They should lose every game until they clean up house.. And the prime minister is no different from the hooligans on social media

[FUB]

Thought racism wasn't a problem out there. I guess Meghan Markle was right.

[ramal]

Whole World is jubilant when England lost, except England fans naturally

[marctimmermann]

England has the worst fanbase ever. You saw that after the game against Germany when they insulted the crying girl.

[basicinfo]

The racists also physically and violently attacked black people. It wasn’t just online abuse.

Internet is a ''land'' with no law, this needs to change. Who doesn't know people that are something in real life but change completely online? People must be punished for their behavior as they are in real life.
