England wanted 2 or all 3 of the black players who shot the last three penalty kicks and struck out to be the heroes but it blew up in England’s face . Now all you read on the net is about the racist slurs that a few aholes hurled at them on the internet . No interest in soccer but glad Italy won for a variety of reasons .
