This is the worst way to lose a football game, let alone European Championship final.A tie Determined by penalty shootout Probably only a little less painful than the lottery that lasted until the 1970s. Especially when your team is insufficient.
It feels all or nothing. You win or lose, score or miss. But this view can also be misleading.Because it didn’t take into account the joyous and exciting journey to the final, nor did it take into account the amazement of these young players with friends and family. United Kingdom In this way of demonstration.
They gave us reasons to dream in difficult times, not about Covid-19 or continuous rain.
Those who don’t have penalties can’t be used as scapegoats, as it was in 1996 and other shootouts. Taking a penalty kick requires great courage, and those who volunteer to take a penalty deserve our admiration, not contempt.
Of course there is only one winner, and this time it’s Italy, We extend our warm congratulations to them. They were the better team that night and showed great courage and skill in recovering from the early deficit and continuing to dominate the game.
The team protested on one knee throughout the game racism -To our collective regret, in the minutes and hours after the final whistle, we were reminded why this kind of protest is still necessary.
Those who spread these unacceptable views online must be held accountable. Records must be kept so that such abuses can be submitted to the authorities for investigation, and so-called fans are banned and may face legal proceedings.
At the same time, social media companies must delete such hate speech as soon as possible to prevent copycat posts. This newspaper is extremely proud of our football team.
They are the best players in England and they have done so much for this country to be proud of. The World Cup is still 18 months away, and there are many things to look forward to. But as a country, obviously there is still a lot of room for development.
Police problem
Not only did racism ruin the finals, but the behavior of some English fans before and after the match was also affected.The missile was thrown on the way to the stadium, and then some Supporters without tickets rushed into the revolving door And got access Wembley.
This raises the question for the Metropolis as to how they supervise the incident. Why can fans without tickets get close to the ground? Where is the police? What will happen if Wembley is fully loaded? The consequences can be catastrophic.
In fact, young children are frightened, and many ordinary spectators feel unsafe, because the feeling of lawlessness pervades the stadium. This is a great moment, not because of missed penalties, but because of violence and ineffective supervision.
Failures like this do not reflect a global city well, nor do they reflect a 2030 World Cup.
