Los ingleses inventaron el fútbol y fueron los dueños de la violencia en él hasta la década del 90´. Hubo un trinomio de tragedias que definió el futuro del balompié en Inglaterra y con ello en Reino Unido.

Antes que nada, comentar el concepto “hooligan” que es y fue patrimonio inglés. Una palabra para señalar aquellos hinchas peligrosos y con actitudes violentas que pelean con la policía y otros grupos de hooligans generando destrozos. Esta idea nació a finales del siglo 19.

If, however, there are any metrics that you aren't sure about, then just ask and I'll let you know!

We've been linked with a ton of players, some of whom have already moved to other clubs e.g., Patson Daka to Leicester.
I'll be focusing on 6 players in each position that we've been linked to, and then highlighting 4 or 5 other players who I think could be good signings.

"The prime minister set out this morning his response to some of the awful comments we've seen. He said this England team deserve to be lauded as heroes not racially abused on social media, those responsible for this appalling abuse should be ashamed of themselves,”
On Neville claim that PM + other ministers suggested it was fine to boo players taking the knee, he added: “It’s not accurate.
“The PM was clear that he wanted to see everyone getting behind the team to cheer them on. He made that clear on the 11th, before England’s first game.”

#EURO2020 has opened up a space about what it means to be English and who belongs in England.
This tournament has been a tale of two Englands - one of inclusion and support; the other division and abuse.
Both were on show throughout, and exploded after the final. 1/12

The team demonstrated solidarity & anti-racism for a country divided by a pandemic & hate: Rashford & Henderson who had coordinated support during the pandemic, to Sterling’s leadership in exposing racism, the team taking the knee to Kane wearing the Pride captain’s armband. 2/12
Many images of fans from communities across the country showed England could be an inclusive nation.
This was important because politicians and media, plus a sizeable section of the country, have openly courted division & exclusion. 3/12
