Charlie did not spend today racially abusing three England players online for missing a penalty. In fact, he didn’t even think to comment on the colour of their skin at all, nor hate them even a little bit. #ENGvsITA

Charlie simply asked if he could go and practice his football after school just in case Southgate needs him to take a penalty for England when he’s 19 too. ❤️
Charlie is SO in awe of those three boys; @MarcusRashford , @BukayoSaka87 and @Sanchooo10 - exactly like the rest of the younger generation who have watched them play with the incredible courage and resilience that they have done, to earn England’s place in the final.
It will take me a long time to truly unpack what I saw last night. It was the best of England (Heroic performance from the boys) and undoubtedly the worst of us too. I was waiting with @grahamhiley @joemcindoe92 & @Mart_86 just inside Gate K when the gate was breached by idiots.
You could see it coming. The disabled doors which we'd passed through were open as five or six stewards tried to hold back dozens of out of control, ticketless idiotic #englandfans. When the stewards were finally overpowered, it was carnage.
As someone who is vulnerable in that moment, my first thought was get to safety, which my brother and Dad did with both me and my friend (both wheelchair users). Before we got to safety, we saw a poor guy on crutches with his leg strapped up get absolutely flattened by this mob.
