RACISM IN ENGLISH FOOTBALL (SOCCER)?

In the Europa Cup recently, England faced Italy in the finals.  There was much publicity about Coming Home, bringing the cup back to the land that invented international football.

The English team was booed earlier in the tourney when members "took the knee" on the pitch, prior to the game. Fans from other lands booed when they see the English besmirching their own nation with such symbols of submission. In the final, the game of England v. Italy, England scored in the first 2 minutes, a white player, Luke Shaw shot it in the goal. The main English player in goals in the Euro Cup and in the Eng. Prem. League was Harry Kane, white. So Engl led 1-0 at the half. Italy came back in the 2nd half and tied 1-1. Even after another half hour of play, still 1-1. To settle the result - the shoot out of penalty kicks. 

    Italy 1, Eng (Harry Kane) 1.  So it was 1-1.   // Next. Italy missed 0; Eng. (Maguire, a white) 1. So Eng leads 2-1.    Next round: Italy  scored, 1; Eng (a colored, missed) 0. So it is 2-2. Next round. Italy missed 0; Eng (a colored) also missed 0. Score remains 2-2. Round 5. Italy  scores 1; Eng (a colored, missed 0. Final - Italy 3, England 2.  ITALY WINS.   In the shootout, the 2 whites scored for England, while the 3 coloreds missed.
Some years ago the French national team was in trouble, but new recruits from former colonies brought victory to the French. The media loved its new team with Zidane and other colored players. And so did most fans. The new players brought victory.
But last week, the new, colored players brought defeat to England. In the shootout, the 2 whites scored for England; the 3 coloreds failed. The anger of the fans may not be any more racist, than the love of the French fans when the coloreds brought victory. For England, they brought defeat. Not many fans want to cheer defeat.
