England vs. Bulgaria: The Racist Behavior

It is very first time in history that UEFA's three step protocol for dealing with racist abuse was executed, after England players especially subjected to distasteful monkey chants by the crowd of Bulgarian. They may still have some criticism in the relation of how the protocol was executed as it is a general sense of chaos which was added up into the unpleasant atmosphere but there should also be respectful for the sense of empowerment among the players of England that has felt like it has been a long time coming in such situations.

The anger level of them was on peak and reaction of Ming's on the other hand the goals of Marcus Rashford, Ross Barkley, Raheem Sterling and Captain Harry Kane.
This conflict went way beyond a football match in so many senses that the match was being played in a stadium partially wrong and was closed for previous racist abuse and further was a pointed reminder for them that how long it will go. Bulgaria Manager, Krassimir Balakov's claimed that the country's football culture doesn't have a problem with racism. The game does the hope is this start of something different and better is chasing out.
The 27th minute event of this game will really be remembered for Life Time. That was happened when an angry Ming's signaled to their teammates after monkey chants had been heard when he and Rashford got on the ball and that was passed on to captain Kane who notified referee Ivan Bebek. Uefa delegay Danilo Filacchone had by this point already been animatedly talking into his walkie-talkies from his pitch side hut.
It was then a bleak piece of history was made. It was the very first time that UEFA's three- step protocol was put into the effect with system of public address and declaring that referee would consider bountiful the match due to racist behavior.
