You don’t suppose the English fans noticed the skin color of the 2 that made theirs CS the 3 that missed, and are commenting there on, do you?  

No doubt.  But let's not pretend that abuse wouldn't be just as bad if not worse with about 30 other European countries.

Um, 1998 and 2018 Wold Cup Champs and 2006 runner up as well as 1984 and 2000 Euro champs as well as 2016 runner up compared to England with one WC champ from 1966 and Euro runner up this year. At least historically, France is the better team. France also didn’t get to play all but one match in this Euro at home…

Lulz @ 1998…know how I can tell you’re old (I’m 54)?

In terms of violence and stupidity, the English hooligan is a special lot.

However, had the "racial" tables been turned, the outcome would have been similar I think.  Except maybe France, they seem to have a peculiarly good relationship with Algerians and other former colonials.

Fuckers. Total fuckers. Fuck them. Fucking animals. Glad those stupid fucks have to put up with their team losing. And I have nothing against the team.

That Tweet may be wrong. Someone said it was people trying to get in without a ticket. And people who had tickets were going after them. So, I may have to have my remarks strikes from the record.

As in today’s game or the tournament as a whole. Because I’m pretty sure at the start of this most people had France pencilled in. 

No, the one that had a small Euro logo and had written "PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT" on it. Given to the Italian keeper.

Of course not.  That wasn't my point.   Racism is absolutely rampant in European football. 

Yeah. At least they're capping black players. 

Just looking across the aisle - I remember how nasty it was when Balotelli first started getting caps for Italy. I believe he was the first black player to get capped for them? In like... 2010.

As an Arsenal fan Sako played poorly today. The moment is pretty big for a 19 year old and obviously the pen was a shit cap on it. Mbappe did the same thing (shit in run of play, shit in pens) and is a top 5 player in the world. It happens.

I love the Prem. That said don’t mind seeing England lose for the lulz but you are out of your fucking mind if you think a single squad in that tourney would have three black players miss penalty conversions and not have a shitload of bullshit racist crap thrown their way. Again see Mbappe…just a few weeks ago by a country some of you are extolling as virtuous. (Narrator: It is not)

England deserved to lose for their use of Sancho and Jack this tournament. Inexcusable. 

You put a kid on the line for one of the biggest moments in English football history. Dumbest most irresponsible thing ever. I was for Italy but felt so sorry for him.

England started the game with 7 defensive players. They get what they deserve for playing like West  Brom. 

And got a goal on 2' with it, and were ascendant for 20 minutes with it.  But with 5 subs and being England AT FUCKING HOME in a FULL INTERNATIONAL FINAL which you only get a chance to host ever 3 decades, AT FUCKING HOME, you don't ride it past the hour with FIVE FUCKING SUBS.

Southgate is the biggest pussy in the history of international football ma management. 
Twellman is the worst color commentator in the history of international football.

beerholder gives the lizard a run

twellman has surpassed jack edwards, and that took a tremendous amount of fail to achieve

There are many, many former Italian players who would want people to believe this.

These former players are not racing out to do DNA tests either.

Was there last month. That “horse shoe” is more like a “bike lock” these days.

There are no rivalries in US sports that compare to the European soccer and especially English hooligans

College football rivalries and the Yankee vs Red Sox rivalry would approach modern day Euro soccer.

Crips v Bloods in the ‘80s & ‘90s laugh at your Euro hooligans.

Bonucci is a winner. His body is a temple. And to keep his body as pure as it can be...

He drinks Coca-Cola & Heineken* during his press conferences just like all other elite athletes.

That English 20-something guy who got to go to every match in Wembley (somehow) and had a vlog going of the tournament matches posted one from the final.

You can go back and watch the whole thing, but I have lined it up to the end of extra time.

As someone who lived in the city during the height of the Yankees/Sox rivalry I'll disagree.    You consistently saw a red sox guy sitting with his Yankee buddy etc and vice versa.   No way are you doing that for the NLD.   You wouldn't even make into the concourse.   There are no barricades between fans with rows of stewards at any college rivalry or US sporting event.   I've never seen police form a human barrier and shut off entire modes of transportation so that the away fans can get out of the stadium.

Some of those Dodger/Giants might be close.

Their fan base is like combining the Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys and Aggy. 


I've said for a couple of weeks that England & the Cowboys are very similar. They get tons of press and are frequently picked as one of the favorites and then never come close.

Before 2018 and England kind of having run, the last time that England had made it to a Semifinal was 1996.
The last time the Cowboys even got to a Conference Championship was 1996.

Italy knows how to celebrate!

Euro 2020: One dead, several injured during Italy Euro 2020 celebrations

One person [Two people] died and several were injured in Italy as the country celebrated their victory over England in Sunday's Euro 2020 final.

Italy won the championship in London for the first time since 1968, with a 3-2 penalty shootout win after the match finished 1-1 in regular and extra time.

A 22-year-old man died (#1) in a car crash in Caltagirone, Sicily, as he was rushing to the town centre to join victory festivities, police said.

In Milan, 15 people were hurt, three seriously, when post-match partying became rowdy. One of them lost three fingers when a firework exploded in his hand.

In a town near the southern city of Foggia, police believe a hitman took advantage of the chaos in the streets to settle a score, shooting dead his target (#2) in the crowd before escaping on a motorbike.

The victim's six-year-old niece was also wounded in the attack, with media reporting that she was in a "very serious" condition.

She's like the female version of Benedict Cumberbatch.  All the parts of her face are really goofy on their own, but she adds up to one strikingly beautiful woman.  

Like Jerry Garcia used to say of the Dead, I guess.  We are mysteriously greater than the sum of our parts.  

Sorry to hear about those folks in Italy.  Didn't realize Southern Italy turns in Columbus, Ohio after dark.  I guess that's why they named it that.

You should probably check out the "Les Bleus" documentary to get better idea of the *extremely* conflicted relationship the French public has had in recent decades with their national soccer team being dominated by first and second generation African emigrants.

Quote

France has been plunged into a fresh race crisis after claims that football officials tried to limit black and Arab players on youth training schemes to make the French team more white.

The French football federation has opened an internal investigation after website Mediapart reported that top management approved a quota system to limit young black players and those of north African origin emerging as candidates for the national team. The alleged plan involved limiting non-white youngsters as young as 12 or 13 from entering the selection process through training centres and academies.

 

"For the top brass in French football, the issue is settled: there are too many blacks, too many Arabs, and not enough white players in French football," the website said.

Perhaps I enjoy the beauty of the game without the insertion of personal politics.  And, yes, I get historical grievances in Europe (and New Zealand I guess), but Taika Waititi knew exactly what he was doing with his tweet.  

dude

you have seen enough US-mexiaggy to know this just is not true

football is the socio-economic replacement for actual warfare
