The England national team on Monday in the scandalous qualifying match for the 2020 European Championship crushed the Bulgarian footballers with a score of 6-0. Before the match, the English team players spoke out loudly about the racism problem in Bulgaria, and the match referee even stopped the game a couple of times in the first half and warned the fans about inappropriate behavior. During halftime, the Bulgarian national team captain Ivelin Popov decided to talk to the fans in the stands, and his behavior did not go unnoticed by the first goal scorer Marcus Rashford, who expressed admiration for such conduct on his social media profile. "It's not easy to play in such conditions, but it shouldn't be happening in 2019. I'm glad we didn't succumb to it and fought for three points, but these things need to be stamped out. Thanks to our amazing fans. You supported us in the most meaningful way possible tonight and we are grateful for that. I also heard what the Bulgarian captain did at halftime. To stand alone and act like that takes a lot of courage. It also shows that such actions cannot go unnoticed," wrote M. Rashford.
