There’s a brief hiatus in the sporting calendar (The Open has started, but I don’t count golf as a proper sport. I agree with the sentiment - variously attributed to Mark Twain, William Gladstone, and others - that golf is “a good walk spoiled”). England lost on penalties in the final of Euro 2020. England fans can console themselves that coming second in the Olympics - which begin next week - would win a silver medal. As predictable as night follows day, or a penalty shootout follows extra time, the black players have received a torrent of abuse on social media. It’s time for cricket to occupy the back pages of the newspapers for a few precious weeks. I won’t miss football at all.
