England missed an opportunity to take a real stand against racism
England manager Gareth Southgate walks off the pitch at half time during the Euro 2020 qualifying match at the Vasil Levski National Stadium, Sofia, Bulgaria
YOU know there’s a problem when in the build-up to a game, players are asked what they would do if they are racially abused by opposing fans.
That was one of, if not the, main topic of discussion before England played Bulgaria on Monday night in Sofia.
Not that the Three Lions were coming off the back of a defeat, not that some idiotic fans were causing problems, again.
