England’s soccer team suffered a crushing loss on Sunday, falling to Italy on penalty kicks 3-2 in the Euro 2020 final. England was hoping for its first major international championship since the 1966 World Cup, but once again fell short. 

After extra time, Italy and England were tied 1-1,  but Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bukaya Saka — who are black — missed their penalty kicks for England. Rashford hit the post with his penalty kick, while Sancho and Saka had their kicks blocked by Italian goaltender Gianluigi Donnarumma.
