If nothing else after decades of vastly overhyped and often boorish idiots like Rooney et al (and never the ending shit about Wags) this young team seems to be composed of decent, intelligent young lads led by Kane a good old fashioned bloke and Southgate who is a superb manager.
If we lose so be it as Italy are a wonderful side.

I dont understand how the penalty takers were chosen tbh.
But....the team are young, and I really do believe under Southgate England could bring home a title before too long.
Taking the knee doesn't seem to have had much effect on the racism that is obviously still embedded in the game.
The young lads who missed their penalties, especially Marcus Rashford, who has even had his mural defaced locally, have been targeted once again online by mindless fools.

Yeah, it's the minority of idiots that shame our supporters time and time again.

Marcus Rashfords mural has been restored by the artist this morning....and also added to by people who want to show their love for him and their disgust against racism.

This is what I mean when I get tired of been lectured on how racist white people all are - we are not and our country is one of the most tolerant and inclusive on earth (too bloody tolerant sometimes).
It's a tiny number and I would argue certain minorities are far more intolerant than we are (vulnerable white girls seen as disposable trash by Pakistani/Bangladeshi gangs being the most obvious example).

I agree, the vast majority of white people in the UK are definitely not racist.
I don't think it's possible to get rid of racism completely, it's deeply embedded in some, and they will pass that on to their kids and so it will continue.
And I also agree that racism is often more visible in none whites....but this is about the way the black England players have been treated.

Of course but it does need stating.
OXFAM for example has stated reverse racism does not exist - which is quite frankly both offensive and totally ludicrous.

It is ridiculous..closing your eyes pretending it doesn't exist is as bad as participating.
Indeed but that seems to be the default position of every public figure, celebrity or politician now and it's wrong because it just causes deep resentment.
