FA “appalled” by online racism aimed at England players
FA Spokesperson, in response to the online abuse aimed at England players tonight: "The FA strongly condemns all forms of discrimination and is appalled by the online racism that has been aimed at some of our England players on social media.
"We could not be clearer that anyone behind such disgusting behaviour is not welcome in following the team. We will do all we can to support the players affected while urging the toughest punishments possible for anyone responsible.
"We will continue to do everything we can to stamp discrimination out of the game, but we implore government to act quickly and bring in the appropriate legislation so this abuse has real life consequences. Social media companies need to step up and take accountability and action to ban abusers from their platforms, gather evidence that can lead to prosecution and support making their platforms free from this type of abhorrent abuse."

I despise the loud and obnoxious English fans more than most. In fact, my hatred is so strong that I wasn't able to watch the game because for me the stakes were too high. Losing this game would have sent me to a mental hospital.
But I'd like to point out that some of the nicest people I've ever met are English. I have made lots of English friends over the years after working abroad and none of them are anything like the stereotype we all have burned into our heads. The loudest people are not a representative sample of a nation. And footballers are dumb fucks too.
