As soon as England beat Denmark, I knew I had to make plans to watch the match. A video also went viral of a random Black man being raised into the air and celebrated after England won against Denmark. It gave me hope for England fans. But then I look at today’s news and realise that England fans are the very same people that have spewed racist bile following the loss and defaced Marcus Rashford’s mural. British football fans are known worldwide for their culture of hooliganism, but I think we trivialise the link it has to extreme, deep-rooted racism, especially among a certain demographic.
