There was a Facebook post which has a link to its story regarding the brutal and racist attacks on the 3 black players of England, Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford had endured.

The 3 lost their crucial spot kicks within the penalty fighting climax of the Euro 2020 final match against Italy at Wembley on Monday morning.
