Good for the booers! Say no to pathetic virtue signalling especially anything to glorify that awful career criminal George Floyd.

The 'guess what - racism's bad!' gesture has become clichéd and impotent and redundant though, hasn't it?The point has been made.
Those who applaud the gesture never needed it in the first place.
Those who boo it will continue to boo it. If anything, it will inspire them to hate harder.
It's not going to change anyone's mind.

Thomas Goodtime....
No, ridiculous is the silly kneeling pantomime that does nothing to reduce racism in soccer or anywhere else. Just play the game.

Thomas......
Forcing the players to kneel before the game hasn't changed the mind of a single racist. Do you really think that a banana throwing Nazi will have second thoughts after the players go though their little charade?
Identifying them and ejecting from the stands with lifetime bans would at least mean fewer incidents at games.. But even that wouldn't change their minds.

A memorable win. Congrats to Hungary. In their own den, the Magyars are a force to reckon with. The Three Lions will need to roar in unison in the remaining home and away encounters. All the best to Harry and Co.
