England has been eliminated from the World Cup in the last 8, but the overall performance is still well received, and the dissatisfaction of the fans is not as serious as last year's European Cup. According to HateLab, there were 168 cases of social network violence in England during the World Cup, which is a significant decrease compared to the 3,000 hate messages in a few hours after last year's UEFA Europa League final loss, and captain Harry Carney was the target of this year's online violence messages.
Last year's European Cup final was a 12-yard shootout against Italy, and the hosts, Bukajorska, Rashford and Chatunsinzu, were the target of over 3,000 hate messages within hours of the end of the match, many of which were racially charged. Despite England's exit in the last 8, the net violence has improved significantly, with only 168 hate messages recorded in the whole tournament. Mathieu Williams, who was in charge of the investigation, said: Compared with the European Cup, there are a lot fewer racist messages in this year's tournament, and most of the messages are positive and encouraging, and one of the reasons may be that there are no triggers, for example, mistakes made by the black players, and so on.
