England players criticised for reaction to runners-up medals

England’s devastated players received their runners-up medals after the match but have been criticised by some football fans on social media for immediately discarding the silverware.

This has become an increasingly common sight in football in recent years.

For example, we saw a number of Manchester United players doing the same thing after they were beaten in May’s Europa League final.

Some believe that it’s disrespectful to take the medal off…

Although there are others who believe this shows the players’ winning mentality.

They were all desperate to become champions and were gutted to end the night with a silver medal.
