I did notice a lot of attention for Bukayo Saka for basically giving the game to the Italians. He was 19 year old so maybe he should not have been the one taking a critical penalty shot so I do feel like his race was a reason for picking him, like hey look a black dude just saved the game for England, multiculturalism works and all that.
But I may be just paranoid at this point.
I actually think you’re right.
Also I think the funniest part is that England replaced two white guys who had worked hard the entire game for two brown guys to come in at the last second to take free kicks and they both missed and lost England the game.
You mean lost on purpose by replacing two fantastic white players we had planned all game with two brown players who weren’t even warned up to take penalty kicks and missed both shots?
I feel bad for the kid as well, I just think he was put in that position do to his race. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure if he picked do to his race or not but the current culture makes it a very likely case.
Similar with how every time there is a black guy or women announced as a new hire on a project I work I expect it to be an affirmative action hire that will be incompetent, unfortunately I tend to be right.
I'm not following soccer / football close enough to give a more educated guess on the situation but I would be interested to know why the 3 minority guys were put in the team to begin with, how good are they really? was there any alternative that was passed on just because they wanted to diversify the team? I smell racism, but who knows, I doubt anyone would investigate that so I'm just glad they lost.
