With the World Cup approaching, I thought I’d share a topical story about an underwhelming England performance: In May 1958 England were preparing for the tournament with a friendly against Portugal. Beware, warned Roy Peskett in the Daily Mail, of Augusto Rocha, ‘o Pequeno Tigre’ from Macao

I don't need approval or elikes, but this has been troubling recently & based on what I've learned from @fsoofoundation.bsky.social & the ESEA community in England, racism especially towards ESEA is largely ignored. Not afraid to call out on United fans too, it's disgraceful & won't go about Foden

At what point do they stop defending the indefensible. It wasn’t a mistake or banter, it was a clear and targeted offensive term. Maybe provide the education before they make the mistake!!
