EURO 2020: ENGLISH FANS SIGN PETITION CALLING FOR FINAL VS ITALY TO BE REPLAYED

Over 100,000 English fans have signed a petition calling for England's Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy to be replayed.

England lost on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Wembley on Sunday evening July 11.

After the match loss, some fans were left incensed and have now launched a change.org petition to asked that the match be replayed.

The petition was started on the grounds that it apparently "was not fair at all, with an image of Giorgio Chiellini's now infamous foul on Saka which the Italian defender was booked for used to highlight this apparent unfairness.

It is added that there were "pushes, pulls and Ricks from the victorious Italians, who it is said - should have had "a red card for their gameplay" with the match replayed with a "non-biased" referee, presumably to give England a better chance of winning.

Those signing were complaining that Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer was off his line when he saved the decisive penalty from Kylian Mbappe in the shootout, although that was later proved to be incorrect.

As at Tuesday July 13, over 100,000 people had signed the petition.

The petition was later taken down by the person who started it, with an LLB statement issued calling for the French to be “good players” and accept Switzerland’s victory.
