So it seems I know as much about football as I do about politics and women. An early goal for England was not enough in the Euros final last night as Italy came back and did the biz on penalties.
Italy were the best team on the night, the best team over the course of the tournament and so were deserving winners. The English team and their very admirable manager Gareth Southgate can hold their heads very high. Losing a game does not always equate to failure.
Disappointingly much of the comment today has had to focus on the racist abuse directed towards the three English players who missed penalties. It also seems there was trouble inside and outside the stadium before, during and after the game. Human beings are a strange species.
It’s just not on.
