After racist chants, England’s Harry Kane has called on FIFA to “come down hard” on Hungary.
In a tough environment, England battled to triumph in Budapest.
After monkey chants were purportedly heard during Thursday’s World Cup qualifier, England captain Harry Kane had harsh words for Hungary’s fans. Regardless, the Three Lions battled on, romping to a 4-0 triumph as the team found its stride in the second half.
The first goal scored by Raheem Sterling was met with boos and objects hurled from the supporters.
In what was a very unsavory environment surrounding the match, ITV’s Gabriel Clarke stated that he could hear monkey chants in the stadium near to where England’s players were warming up.
In the wake of homophobic shouting during Euro 2020, UEFA ordered Hungary to play two games behind closed doors, despite the fact that Thursday’s match was sanctioned by FIFA.
Kane made a mistake by aiming his post-match comments at UEFA, while his sentiments are comprehensible to all those watching.
He described the outcome as “amazing.” “We knew it would be a difficult game coming here because it is such a difficult area to visit.
“We knew that a win here would put us in a solid position and push us one step closer to the World Cup.
“Couldn’t be any better… We won 4-0, and it was a fantastic night for us.
“We were able to capitalise on their tiredness in the second half by taking our chances when we needed to.
“I didn’t hear that,” Kane said when asked about the monkey chants. I’ll check with the lads to see if they heard anything.
“As the rules allow, we’ll have to submit it to UEFA [sic: FIFA].” If that’s the case, I’m hoping they come down hard.”
It was regrettable that such anti-Spurs behavior tarnished what had otherwise been a fantastic night for Gareth Southgate and his team.
Hungary is no slouch on the field, having battled to draws against Germany and France at Euro 2020.
They played with the same zeal in the first half, but England found another gear after the interval to put the tie out of reach.
After the fans began to boo Sterling after seeing him score, the winger crossed into Harry Kane, who extended England’s lead.
Before Declan Rice’s late strike from distance snuck in, Harry Maguire joined in on the act, completing a 14-minute run in which England scored three goals. “Brinkwire News in Condensed Form.”
Sounds like a match when the U.S. plays anywhere.
People are dumb. Why on earth is it necessary to yell monkey chants. So unnecessary.
Monkey chants?
Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees
And people say we monkey around
But we’re too busy singing
To put anybody down
Considering the English Hooligans that always show up for every England game, Kane has no room to talk.
