So, if I'm reading this right, UK lost 3-2 on Penalty Kicks. Of the 5 UK kicks, the 2 that scored where by white people, and the 3 that missed were by black people. On top of that, one of the black people was taking his first-ever penalty kick on a big stage, and the other two were literally substituted in just to take the penalty kicks after having sat on the bench the whole game. That seems odd to me.
Almost makes me wonder if they wanted the racism narrative. Was it all rigged?
My guess it was an affirmative action applied to a game, they wanted diversity and inclusion, it was a risk/ reward type deal. I can see if you were very social justice oriented doing this. It would have been a great cudgel to use against those who oppose multiculturalism. I can guarantee you that if England won all the headlines would have been about how diversity won the game.
There is probably a lot of regret going on so they are milking the racist supporters angle.
Their manager is a dyed in the wool SJW so this is possible.
Didn’t know that but could have guessed just by the way he looks - the prototypical leftist wanker.
I think it was your typical leftist win-win calculation: If you win the gamble- "Diversity works, everyone!" and if it fails "Look at all this racism! We need to stan BLM harder instead of playing better football!". Either way, they get to push their narrative, which was always the goal.
They wanted to land a Black Man on the moon if they could have. One taking some kicks is small potatoes.
Guaran fucking teed
It was odd to literally anyone who was paying attention. I saw people on twitter, black people, too, before the kicks were even taken, tweeting about the insanity of the substitutions.
To send youngsters up at the last minute after an hour and a half on the bench, to perform the penalty kick that makes or breaks everything the whole team has worked for... No pressure, kid! Try not to have nightmares about this for the rest of your life!
Happens all the time. Some players are really good at penalty kicks but not better than other players in the rest of the aspects of the game.
I doubt it happens all the time. If you do not play you are not ready for the penalty kick.
It absolutely happens all the time.
You're right, it does, but I feel sorry for this guy's downvotes. He should be right. Someone who's been on a bench for 2 hours watching their mates kick a ball without doing it themselves is not ready to take one critical kick which will decide one of the biggest sports results on the planet. I feel sorry for Saka (although he was on the pitch longer, there had to have been better choices than him at that point), having that on your shoulders at 19 is a joke.
Lots of tactical things happen all the time which I think are stupid, for example the English defensive shift after scoring 2 minutes in. It sucks, it doesn't work, yet it isn't rare.
Was the guy that psyched himself out the one whose first penalty kick it was? He like started then stopped halfway through the kick.
