England's FA condemns racist abuse of Black players after missed penalty kicks in Euro 2020 final

England's Football Association has condemned racist social media attacks targeting soccer players following Sunday's loss to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.

Italy defeated England on penalty kicks, 3-2 after the game remained tied, 1-1 through extra time. England's Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka, who are Black, missed penalty kicks and were almost immediately subjected to racist abuse on social media following the game, including monkey emojis, slurs and taunts to "get out my country."
